Registration Query, Service Tax

[Varshit Shah]

Hello Experts ,

I have a query on Centralised Registration.

My client has taken over one company say company X. company x is a concessioners (BOT). company x has centralised registration under service tax. Now they have the corporate office in Maharashtra and site (toll plaza) at another state.

Queries are ,

1. Suppose if they are registered only as receipient of service , and they are receiving services only at the site , is it required to continue with centralised registration ?

2. Will it make any differences if accounting is done at the corporate office in another state??

3. If in this scenario centralised registration is nkt required then do i have to take registration for both the places ?

4. As we know from 1.1.17 GST migration will start for Service tax assessee , any amendment in service tax records needs to be done or same can be applied on GST site.

Thanking you in advance.

1) in my view not requires as the services are availed at site and invoices are raised at site's address.

2) In my view accounting can be done from Head Office. In accounting system, the relevant profit centre of the site would be given effect and as such it would mean that accounting is done at site. Only for administrative comfort the same has been booked from Head office.

3) the above reply answers this query.

4) Though the type of return an assessee need to be filed is published as draft but the template or return format or recording pattern is not yet made public by the Govt. Hence there is no reply to this question as of now.
