B. The following important points should be kept in mind while paying service tax: Service tax is to be paid on the value of taxable services which is charged by an assessee. Where the amount of service tax is paid in cash (i.e. not e-payment), the date of payment is the date on which cash is tendered to the designated bank. Payment of service tax into non-designated banks does not amount to payment of service tax. Where the amount of service tax is paid by cheque, the date of presentation of the cheque into the designated bank (i.e. bank named by Central Board Excise and Customs) shall be considered as the date of payment, provided the cheque is realized upon presentation. Payment should be rounded off to the nearest rupee. C.
