New ST-3 Return in Sr.no. A11.1 and A11.2, Service Tax

[RAM SHARMA]

Dear Expert,

We are availing Service Tax exemption under Notification No. 18/2009 dt. 7.7.2009 in Sr. no. 2. (zzb) Service provided by a commission agent located outside India and engaged under a contract or agreement or any other (1)The exporter shall declare the amount of commission paid or payable to the commission agent document by the exporter in India, to act on behalf of the exporter, to cause sale of goods exported by him.

But Notification No. 18/2009 is not given in new ST-3 return and we have some option of  notification which is mention in new ST-3 return A11.1 and A11.2 like 45/2010-S.T, 25,27,30,32,33 and 40/2012-S.T. Please advice.

Thanks

Dear Sir,

Kindly note that w.e.f. 01.07.2012 Service Tax exemption Notification No. 18/2009 dt. 7.7.2009 has been changed & splited into 2 Notifications. First is Notification No. 31/2012-ST dated 20th June, 2012 for Sr. no. 1. (zzp) & Second is Notification No. 42/2012-ST dated 29th June, 2012 for Sr. no. 2. (zzb).

In new ST-3 return you should select the option ' yes' under A12.1 column  than select Notification No. 042/2012-S.T. under  A12.2 column.

Dear Madam,

One more problem in new ST-3 return is utilization of  cenvat credit on Education Cess. When I have entered debit amount of Edu.cess the massage shown (Amount of cenvat credit of Edu.cess(0) entered in the paid section does not match with the Edu.Cess (100000) entered as utilezed in the cenvat credit utilization section for month one. Differential amount ( (E2+G4)-(13.1.3.2+13.2.3.1+13.2.3.4) ) is 100000/- Please advice.

Thanks
