Paid bribe so that i can pay tax
- Customs, Excise and Service Tax
- Service Tax Registration
- Paid INR 5,000
I left my job and started to work from home as freelancer. but since in this earning tax has to be paid for that first i tried to get service tax registration and registration of proprietorship. and it was as if it was a fee for the same. even though it is online procedure to fill the form, they take bribe when u submit the documents. when i went there everyone was so helpful, that i got delighted that public service has improved to such level. and as soon as i showed all the papers req(which was all authentic) nothing was missing, they said everything fine, put the papers along with 5000 and get the service tax registered. i had read that first inspector will come for inspection then i will get the form. they laughed and told madam u dont know anything. u will get it now because u r paying the fees. i felt disgusted, as i had not even started earning, i spent in all 20000 to register and get service tax registration just to give tax to govt for my earning. but since i had to run from one corner to other, i had to give. and i dont see in near future any improvement can be done as it is being done so easily and straight forward. this is for CBD belapur service tax office.
