Dear Professional,
I am operating a restaurant which has air conditioned room and registered in service tax. But 75% of my turnover consist of take away parcels from a counter located out side the restaurant.The sales are chiefly in cash and it is difficult to prove to the service tax department for taxable and non-taxable sales.
Hence, I decided to start a new firm on the same premises under the proprietorship of my wife. Old firm shall provide - Take away parcels and New firm shall provide dine in service from two different counters and separate billing. There will be a common kitchen.
My question is-
1. Can I register a new firm on the same address? If yes, please share relevant section or circular (if any).
2. If No, shall I cancel the registration of the old firm and then apply for the new firm?
3. Please suggest any changes in the above arrangements?
Thank you in advance.
