I am a dealer in rice. I have my own vehicle to deliver the goods. after i deliver the goods, instead of my vehicle coming back empty i carry goods of other business for which i collect transport charges.

Am i liable to service Tax?

Dear Friends,
Fact of my questions are as follows:-
1. I have a C & F Agency of a branded Govt. Lubricants Company since 2004.
2. I have not taken any registration in Service Tax since that time because of lack of proper guidance in tax matters and company also never asked me about the registration.
3. Now the Principle company asked me about my Service Tax No. and tell me to take registration in Service Tax.
4. I have consulted this matter to consultants.
5. Consultants said that liability of
Service tax shall arise since 2004.
6. Principle Company will not bear the Old Service Tax Liability.
7. What will be the consequences if i will take registration and pay the service tax from now.
8. Which Types of Penalty shall attract and whether any condonation of such penalty.

Kindly guide my friends....
