. As regards Point of Taxation, since this levy has come for the first
time, all services (except those services which are in the Negative List or are
wholly exempt from service tax) are being subjected to SBC for the first time.
SBC, therefore, is a new levy, which was not in existence earlier. Hence, rule
5 of the Point of Taxation Rules would be applicable in this case. Therefore,
in cases where payment has been received and invoice is raised before the
service becomes taxable, i.e. prior to 15th November, 2015, there is no
lability of Swachh Bharat Cess. In cases where payment has been received before the
service became taxable and invoice is raised within 14 days, i.e. upto 29th
November, 2015, even then the service tax liability does not arise. Swachh
Bharat Cess will be payable on services which are provided on or after 15th
Nov, 2015, invoice in respect of which is issued on or after that date and
payment is also received on or after that date. Swachh Bharat Cess will also be
payable where service is provided on or after 15th Nov, 2015 but payment is
received prior to that date and invoice in respect of such service is not
issued by 29th Nov, 2015
