Is registration required for MVAT as well as service tax?

Question

If a business has VAT as well as service tax, will it be required to register for GST 2 times?

Example: In the case where a company files return under VAT as well as service tax. So now in GST does the company have to enroll once through anyone (VAT, Service Tax) or from both?

Answer 1

The company / proprietor will need to register only once via VAT. Service tax migration will carry the same number.

The provisional id and password which is received from local vat department will be used to register provisionally then have to enter details of service tax in the same form, there will no need to file a separate provisional registration form for service tax.
