New Service Tax Registration Process for Single Premises: Online Filing, PAN Requirement, and Quick Approval.
The Central Board of Excise and Customs outlines new procedures for service tax registration for single premises, effective March 1, 2015. Applicants must file online via the ACES website using Form ST-1, quoting their PAN, except for government departments. Email and mobile numbers are mandatory. Registration is granted online within two days, and a downloaded certificate serves as proof. Required documents, including PAN, identity proof, and premises ownership, must be submitted by post within seven days. Registration may be revoked if premises are non-existent or documents are incomplete. Previous guidelines are withdrawn due to legal changes.
