The following steps have been taken by the Government to prevent cases of service tax evasion:
- Conducting surveys by the field officers
- Extensive publicity regarding the liability of service tax on various services
- Booking cases against unregistered service providers
- Obtaining information from other Government agencies/departments regarding various service providers/persons liable to pay service tax.
