Dear Ramesh,  thanks for ur response, In case of company can form 18 is accepted or not.. Can we submit Bank statement also??

Its fact and strange  to see that the service tax deptt is not accepting Form - 18 as address proof of the Company for the purpose of registration.

Bank statement accepted by dept.

Dear Hemant, is document of registration of sales tax will be accepted as address proof..??

form 18 is form of submission to ROC, its not a bonafide document evidencing presence of company at specific address, you can use telephone / electricity bills,

as form 18 is also conveyed to bank, so u can obtain bank letter regarding address, that would suffice the purpose.

AGREED WITH U.S. SHARMA JI.

Dear Sharmaji,

Just two days before I had submitted Excise Registration Certificate as address proof but the service tax department did not accept it as address proof.

How can the Income tax ,Saletax Registrar wilol be acccepted.

Please suggest

Local Salestax RC is a valid document and acceptable to service tax department.

Is bank statement allowed as adress proof in case of proprieter

yes bank account is a bonnafide proof of address, 

unable to understand, that when any business identity is establish , then before service tax there are couple of other registrations also, viz, Trade licence (certificate of establishment from local municipal body), Profession tax enrollment ( from commercial tax office of your city) and above all rent receipt or tax bill coz without address any business can not be established. so any of these documents evidencing that the assessee is established on the address is enough.

reg Central Excise regn certificate, the same is a bonafide document but as the RC is issued by same department, they insist on any other document which is not issued by cbec.

Rent Agreement is the enogh document for change of address for partnership firm in incometax department  or not ???????????????
