Recently we have received a letter from the Superintendent (Servey), service Tax Department for submitting the payment details of all the Services providers for FY 2012-13. We have submitted the list of service providers, their address & Service tax Registration number and also requested to visit the factory for verification. However, the Superintendent (Survey), Service Tax is insisting us to submit payment details (service provider wise) for the FY 2012-13 on CD. Kindly advise us in the matter. Is there any legal provisions to collect such data from Service Tax recipient.

Company Debates Compliance with Tax Department's Request for Detailed Payment Info for 2012-13 Under Legal Scrutiny A service tax survey prompted a request from the tax department for detailed payment information from a company for the fiscal year 2012-13. The company had already submitted a list of service providers but was asked to provide payment details on a CD. Opinions varied on compliance: some advised cooperation to avoid legal issues, while others argued that the legal obligation was fulfilled by providing initial information. Concerns were raised about the legality and necessity of the request, with references to legal provisions and court judgments supporting the company's stance. The consensus leaned towards cooperation but with caution to avoid unnecessary compliance burdens. (AI Summary)
