27 November 2010 There is a partnership which is dissolved 3 years back. But still they have not cancelled the service tax Registration Number.
what is the procedure to cancel the registration number?
ALso the firm is yet to file the service tax returns (Nil return) before dissolution.
Is there any penalty provision which the firm has to pay?
