    2. INTRODUCTION

    Taxes in India are classified as Direct and Indirect taxes. Direct taxes are those taxes whoseimpact will be borne directly by persons. Income tax and Wealth tax are the examples of Directtaxes where levy and recovery will be from the persons directly. Indirect taxes are those taxeswhose burden can be passed on to the Buyers of goods and services. For example, Excise taxes

    are levied on the manufacturers, however, that taxes portion will be recovered from the buyer ofgoods as part of the price. Similarly Service tax is levied on the service provider whereas theservice provider passes on the burden to service receiver.

    Finance Act, 1994 introduced the levy of tax on Services rendered, hereafter referred as Servicetax in India. Initially service tax was imposed on 3 services and the scope is being widened everyyear. Service tax solution was developed by Oracle Financials for India to meet the statutoryrequirements in India. Hence features provided in the product are based on the provisions of theFinance act, as amended from time to time and the service tax credit rules framed by thestatutory authority.

    6. SERVICE TAX ACCOUNTING

    This section provides an overview on the tax accoutning process. Following figure depicts theAccounting required for Taxes. Normally tax accounting happens along with base transactionaccounting. This varies when the Tax is deferred and can be recovered or the liability arises onlyon happening of a particular accounting event in the future. For example, Service Tax recovery is

    on cash basis. So is the accounting. In such cases, the actual Recovery happens on payments tovendors and liability accounting happens on receipts from the customers.

    Once the transaction has passed through the recovery and liability event, the next phase is todistribute the credit available under this regime to taxes under other regimes. On the same linestransfers from other regime would reduce the tax liability. The total of recovered amount (net oftransferred amounts) is what remains to set-off against the Tax Liability under the regime. TheNet Liability is settled by making a payment to the Tax Authority.
