Survey and Investigation Branch in Delhi Service Tax Commissionerate

The Delhi Service Tax Commissionerate has constituted a “Survey and Investigation Branch” (SIB) headed by an Assistant/Deputy Commissioner.

The SIB is for:-

  • Data collection on the basis of various sources like website, yellow pages for the purpose of the identification of Service Tax assessees not registered with the Service Tax Department.

  • Conducting physical surveys for identifying the service tax providers who are not registered with the department, in particular new services.

  • Verification of the references received from other Commissionerate/Higher formations regarding the proper payment of Service Tax.

  • The implementation of the Action Plan or such plans as issued by the Board from time to time.

  • Disseminate information to potential charts to improve level of voluntary compliance.

They want information about Service Tax evaders to be sent to sib.stdelhi@gmail.com

Wiser Counsel seems to have prevailed and now the Commissionerate has stopped publishing names of alleged offenders or is it that there is no allegation now a days?
