29 December 2019 I have received letter of enquiry from Service tax department stating there is difference in income in 26AS form and service tax return for the FY 2015-16.

And they have requested to pay service tax within one week.

I have taken service tax number in November 2015 as my turnover crossed 10 lakhs.
Total turnover was 13 lakhs.
( need to pay service tax for 3 lakhs )

I have stopped my business from December 2015.( within one month of taking service tax)

My questions:
1. I have received notice in August 2019, I am confuse / fear to approach service tax department, do I wait for second letter from service tax department. I have heard there is too much of harresment from dept. Few have suggested me wait and watch.

2. What experts suggest?,

3. Do I apply for a anmesty scheme?

30 December 2019 Reply to the notice as you are liable for service tax 3 lacs only as service tax exceed 10 lacs only now.
Opt for amenesty if GST is payable on 3 lacs not paid.
