Cancellation of Service Tax registration

Write a letter to service tax dept and submit ST-2 original copy along with last 3 years returns in dept and take a surrender receipt of service tax letter.

Tha's it...;-)

Dear Mr. Mishra,

Thank you for your reply with the details. Refering to your mention on 3 years returns, I have not filed even nil returns till today. I was supposed to charge separately for training for the machine I sold, but my clients bargain that training be done free. As such, I could not even raise a single training bill.

Now anyways, I am not going to conduct trainings, but will be a pure trader. And so I need to cancel the setvice tax registration. Will they create problems for me or charge me penalties for the late filings, or should I fill the ST3 form for each 6 monthly period of the last three years and submit that alongwith the ST2 original copy?

Much appreciate your help,
Kunal

1st of all, u have 2 file ur ST-3 returns with late fees penality and thn aftr u can surrender ur ST-No. except d returns, al thgs r correct, no need 2 worry, just submit ur returns and surrendr ur ST-No accordingly.

Hi Kunal,

I have something different to tell you.....!!

If you have not collected and so not deposited any Service Tax to Governement then you need not file the returns of the last three years. Only a person liable to pay Service Tax  is required to file return of Service Tax meaning by if your aggregate annual turnover for the year is not greater than 10 lakh and so you have not collected and deposited the Service Tax to Government you can surrender the Certificate without filling the returns.

Make sure you file returns only if you got your turnover at the year end greater than 10 lakh and so collected and deposites the Service Tax to Governemnt. 

Dear Mr Goutam Joshi,

WILL YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE NOTIFICATION NO OF NOT FILING THE NIL RETURN FOR THREE YEARS
