Mr PC, Please Extend Due Date for Payment of Service Tax
A Director in charge of taxation in a top Corporate House writes in:
It has become very cumbersome to comply with the new provisions and requirements especially with respect to service tax payment by both the provider and the recipient especially in Cab operator, Man power recruitment and supply etc.,.
Even it is becoming more complex in ascertaining the liability on these services, as the said services are provided by different entities following different practices.
In this scenario, it would be very difficult for all the service tax assessees especially who are liable to pay under reverse charge/ on % basis by provider and recipient to arrive at the tax liable amount before 5th or 6th of the next month. Hence, it would be high time to the government to extend the due date for payment of service Tax preferably to 15th or 16th against the present due date of 5th or 6th.
In all the shake up happening in the North Block, is there somebody to listen to the poor tax payer who is the ultimate victim? Will PC listen?
