Sir, we have made payment of service tax consecutively for three months in wrong accounting code i.e we have paid in Transport of Goods By Road(GTA) instead of Works Contract. Sir what is the remedy available and how to show it in the return to be filled .

You can write to Accounts officer of the department a letter giving details of payment through your jurisdictional range office. Department will correct the same in their data base. While filing return you have to show the service tax paid in GTA only. Department after correction shall issue a letter to you.

If amount has been paid more than what was required in all the months in more than two heads of account what remedy is available. Should i show actual figure or should i manipulate figure to match the payment made.
