Client Faces Service Addition Denial Due to Unfiled Tax Returns; Experts Advise on Legal Recourse and Penalty Avoidance A client has not filed service tax returns for one category from September 2005 to September 2010 but has paid all due taxes with interest up to March 31, 2010. The client began a new business activity in July 2010, but the department is denying the addition of new services without filing past returns.
