Hi all,

Dear Kanika Pramod,

Please find the Full & Final Settlement of Account format attached in Excel for your reference. I would also like to share with you the applicability of Service Tax on the shortfall of the notice period amount.

Many of us are not aware that there is a Service Tax applicability on the recovery of the shortfall of the notice period amount, which is payable by the employee themselves. I am attaching a circular in this regard for the benefit of the members.

In order to assist the departing employees, it is advisable to adjust the maximum balance of unavailed leave against the shortfall of the notice period to minimize/reduce his/her service tax liability.

Regards,
Suresh

Service Tax and Employment

Service tax is not applicable to anything related to employment. Notice period payout is related to employment and is therefore outside the scope of service tax. The opinion given in your attachment is definitely incorrect. There is no need for service tax on this amount.

In any case, service tax is not applicable for a person having a business turnover of less than 10 lakhs. So even under that rule, this employee would not be covered.

Transition from Service Tax to GST

Further, please note that service tax has now been replaced with GST. Under GST, employee-related services are not covered under any tax.
