The exemption will not apply if you have charged Service Tax once, The exemption needs to be taken continuously, one cannot take exemption for 1 bill and charge tax on another. the 2 lakh reced by you, calculate backward as if that 2 lakh is inclusive of Service Tax. (ST + Cess would be 18676) , then afterwords if company pay remaining amount again go for backward calculation and pay remaining 2000 (approx) ST.
In my opinion, as the turnover of the taxable service for F.Y.2008-09 does not exceed 10 lakhs , asessee can get an exemption from service tax on the first receipt of Rs. 10 lakhs.
After that asessee is required to pay the service tax on the taxable value of services provided.
Another important thing to note here is that service tax is required to be paid on the receipt basis and not on due basis.
In other words, service tax is payables only when service provider receives the value of taxable services provided from service receipient.
