Service Tax Registration Issue, Service Tax

[kavish rizvi]

One of my client is engaged in providing diagnostic lab testing service having its registered office at Mumbai with a corporate office situated at Delhi. Mumbai is looking after the all India operations plus Delhi and under Delhi there is 7 different labs in north India where system of centralised billing is not adopted.

Mumbai do separate billings and Delhi do their own. Further, the other Labs coming under Delhi region also do separate billings but the accounts however is compiled together of all locations and a single return is submitted in the IT deptt.

So, my query is that whether if Delhi wants to apply for service tax registration No. then whether it would apply for centralized registration for Delhi and Labs coming under Delhi region or single registration have to be done for Delhi and its Labs separately.

Would feel glad to have a reply from your side.

Awaiting for your response.

Thanking you in anticipation.

If you are maintaining Centralized accounting then it is advisable to go for Centralized Registration.

Dear Sir, the accounts are maintained separately in Delhi and Mumbai, but at the year end the accounts are compiled and then a single return in submitted.

 

However, separate billing is done from Delhi and Mumbai.

So, does we have to apply for single or centrallised registration.
