Service tax registration amendment required to reflect relocated service code; electronic system update may delay compliance.
Notification No. 48/2012 and the revised Form ST-1 incorporate the relocated service code for deposit services; taxpayers registered under the negative list regime must obtain an amendment of their service tax registration from the jurisdictional Central Excise/Service Tax department. Practical difficulty arises because the ACES system has not been updated to allow electronic amendment and presently shows only the consolidated "other than negative list" category. (AI Summary)
