the seprate entity is not required .

when you are rising the invoice better you maintain the sepreate inv no for service as well as trading so that there is no confusion when you are doing VAT/service txa assessement.

only you have to do is VAT/ serice tax regsiter maintaine seprately.

20 November 2010 To avoid service tax problems in future, it is better to maintain separate books of account for two business.
