Dear Friends, Fact of my questions are as follows:- 1. I have a C & F Agency of a branded Govt. Lubricants Company since 2004. 2. I have not taken any registration in Service Tax since that time because of lack of proper guidance in tax matters and company also never asked me about the registration. 3. Now the Principle company asked me about my Service Tax No. and tell me to take registration in Service Tax. 4. I have consulted this matter to consultants. 5. Consultants said that liability of Service tax shall arise since 2004. 6. Principle Company will not bear the Old Service Tax Liability. 7. What will be the consequences if i will take registration and pay the service tax from now. 8. Which Types of Penalty shall attract and whether any condonation of such penalty.

Thanks for your support sir, but in the said scheme govt. is giving only extra time to deposit service tax dues on previous declaration. Can any condonation is available regarding payment of service tax dues of previous years..
