Calculation of SHEC, Service Tax

[Ramanujam V]

SHE cess is effective on service tax from 11.5.07. In respect of quarterly AMC payments for the period Apr-Jun'07, the bills raised and amount received in Apr'07 and hence tax paid @ 12.24%. In the light of new SHE cess effective 11.5.07, whether SHE cess is to be paid proportionately on the tax on charges relatable to the period 11.5.07 to 31.5.07? If so, how could the amount be shown in the returns?

Dear Mr. Ramanujam It appears from your query that your client is a Company as it is making payment on a monthly basis. In this situation it is advised that you charge an additional 1% (0.12% of total) from the party and deposit it till 5th July and show the same as "arrears of tax paid" in the return. IN CASES of advance receipts, it is legally required to break up the amount.

Yes you would have to pay the same proportinately. IN ST-3 the total ST payable maybe indicated with a note that after 11th she cess has also been included.
