Service tax compliance failures: strengthen registration surveys, return verification, cenvat controls and PAN based data correlation. Service tax administration for rent a cab, photography and health club services showed systemic weaknesses: lack of prescribed KPIs and ineffective, unproductive surveys left thousands unregistered; monitoring and verification of ST 3 returns were inadequate, enabling stop filers and suppression of taxable value; misapplication of cenvat credit and slow allotment of PAN based service tax codes impeded cross verification. Audit recommended KPI driven surveys, risk based verification of returns, strengthened inter departmental data correlation, review of conditional exemptions and stricter cenvat enforcement; all recommendations were accepted.
