I have a case where service tax no is surrendered for branch office as co. is now public ltd and will pay service tax from head office.Still branch office has received notice for non-filing of periodical returns by the department?

How they can issue such notice? what should be the reply?

The public limited company has to obtain centralised registration for payment of ST in respect of branches and shall file returns accordingly. Then you may reply the juridictional department officers about the centralised registation along with a copy of the registation certificate.

Branch offices should reply that the ST liabilities in respect of branches have been discharged at the head office. If possible you may enclose copy of the latest consolidated ST-3 return filed at the central office which includes the ST liabilities of the branches.
