Non amendment of service tax registartion

Queries 718 views 1 replies

Dear All,

One of my client is a service provider having a valid ST regn No..But as you al must be aware that under reverse charge mechanism, the ST dealer has to make the payment as service receiver. My client has not ameneded the Sevice TAx registartion to include the services sppecified under reverse charge mechanism but is duly paying the service tax under reverse charge mechanism under the head all taxable services instaed of specific accounting codes provided for such reverse charge services.

My query is is it mandatory to amend the service tax registartion certificate?Any penal provisions are attarcted for non amendment of service tax registration for addition of services?

Thanking You.

Regards,

Preeti Mehta

Yes Preeti,

 

The registration has to be amended to include the service receiver in the registration.

 

Since the tax has been properly paid, there may not be a big hassle, but it is better to do so at the earliest, so as to avoid any problems.

 

For safety, you can also file a letter explaining that the registration was not amended out of inadvertence, and the same be condoned…

 

If you have any queries, you may ask
