Service Tax - Last Date for Filing S.T-3 Return Extended
ON Saturday (25.10.2014) evening, a frantic assessee telephoned me and said that while he was trying to file the S.T.3 Return, the document ‘hung' and he was not able to proceed further. He was worried as to what could be done. I asked him to relax and go home as the due date for filing the return has been extended. On behalf of the CBEC and ACES, I also advised him not to wait till the last day to file his return.
In view of the recent Natural Calamities in certain parts of the country, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-rule (4) of rule 7 of the Service Tax Rules, 1994, the Central Board of Excise & Customs vide Order No 02/2014-Service Tax dated 24th October, 2014 has extended the date of submission of the Form ST-3 for the period from 1st April 2014 to 30th September 2014, from 25th October, 2014 to 14th November, 2014.
