Service TAx RC Amendment due to PAN Change, Service Tax

[VIKAS KAPOOR]

Dear All

Aprx 5 years back the name of our company was changed & accordingly new PAN No was issued. In Excise we had changed the RC at the same time, But could not change the RC of Service Tax.

we are still paying the Service Tax & submitting the Returns in our OLD PAN Based Service TAX NO.

Now we want to Amend the RC as per New PAN. Kindly suggest is there will be any penalty for late intimation??

or we just surrender our OLD RC & apply for the New One as fresh Registration. We have never default in TAx & return submission. Kindly Suggest..

Regards.. Vikas Kapoor

Dear Vikas

The only penalty that can be levied is u/s 77. However, you may still prove your case u/s 80 by showing reasonable cause.

As far as amendment is concerned, you may quickly apply for amendment rather that first surrendering and thereafter obtaining new registration.
