A Proprietor is converting his business to PVT LTD Co. He is engaged in Export of Marketing Service. His Proprietorship firm was registered with Service Tax Authorities.
1)Whether Co is required to get register under service tax act? As Export of Service is exempt.
2)Whether Co is required to get separate Service Tax No? Can they continue with their old Service Tax No?
I think yes. you will have to take a new registration for the company and surrender the one for the propreitorship concern.
since export of Service is exempt, even reverse charge mechanism will not apply....however, you may register and keep. the only thing is that you will have to file nil returns.
