Incorrect service tax accounting code requires correction through the jurisdictional range office, report payment under the used code on returns.
Payment made to an incorrect service tax accounting code should be rectified by writing to the Accounts Officer via the jurisdictional range office with payment details; the department will correct its database and issue a letter. While filing the return, report the service tax under the code actually used (GTA) until correction is effected. A query about excess payments across multiple heads remains without a recorded response. (AI Summary)
