Service Tax – Accounting Codes for new services
The Government while imposing new taxes, is not prompt in announcing the Head of accounts under which the tax is to be paid, leaving the tax payers as well as the Department in utter confusion. We have been getting several frantic calls from concerned assessees as to what the codes are for the new taxes imposed in this year’s budget. When we expressed our ignorance, many taxpayers asked us, if you don’t know, who will know? We only report; we don’t create.
The Principal Chief Controller of Accounts, CBEC has notified the accounting codes for the new services:
