16 December 2010 Dear experts,

If An assessee(partnership firm) is having original Service tax registration from April-2008 who is regularly paying his service tax since that date.

He has paid service tax for FY 2010-11 for first quarter on 14.07.2010 with interest.

But for second & third quarter he has not paid any service tax till date, and now he has transferred his total business from Pune to Mumbai in August 2010, accordingly he has transferred his Service tax registration to Mumbai office w.e.f. 1st December 2010.

Now my question is :

1) What to do about service tax liability from 01.07.2010 to 30.09.2010 and 01.10.2010 to 30.11.2010 ?

2) As he is not having any bank account in Pune, can he pay his service tax liability for the above period from his Mumbai bank account ?

3) Whether he should pay service tax from 01.07.2010 to 30.11.2010 on his old ST no. or New ST no. ?

4) There are some bills raised up to 30.11.2010, which are still not collected, whether Service tax on this bills can be paid on New S.T. No. ?

Please reply soon....

Thanking you in advance.......

16 December 2010 1. Every assessee is having PAN based Registration No.
2. Service Tax Department will never cancell registration no. till you have not filed upto date returns. In my view Pune Registration No is not yet cancelled. Please confirm the same from the partners.
3. All the dues will be paid on the basis of Pune Registration No.
4. You may get prepared DD or use intercity bank a/c for the payment of S Tax.
5. In case bills are pending , wait for the payment or if the amount of Service Tax is not Significant pay tax and get cancelled the S T NO.
6. In case registration no is cancelled then contact Service Tax Department and have their guidance.
