First i would like to correct that there is no such notification , the above clarification is through a circular Circular No.108/02/2009- ST
Secondly evaluate whether you have collected service tax from clients and deposited to the government treasury or whether you have paid as your expense and not recovered.
If you have recovered and then paid, there is no question of refund as it not forming a cost to you.
Going ahead taking the relevance of the circular you may make a suitable application stating surrender of license in view of the said notification.
We are not clear which new notification you are referring wherein you will continue to collect service tax from customer....
I am refering to said notication which you had mention.
And as per this new notification I want clerification that Cleint rendering service for Construction of Residential society of more than 12 dwelling unit,whether to continue registration and collect the service tax from Individual customer OR to sureender registration?
Further whatever service tax paid, we have to file service tax return up to the period of notification No. 108/2/2009 OR up to 31st March'2009?
