1. If a multiple service provider is providing multiple services then exemption limit is 10lacs for each services or aggreagte of all services?

2. What is the method of valuing ST where consideration is not wholly in terms of money?

3. a)in calculating taxable turnover of 10lacs and
b) for registration of ST - 1 of 9lacs should it include total consideration received on services in which we can have abatement or only includes taxable part of such services?

4. Is it enough to study ST & VAT from JK shah classes notes or buy some other refrencer?

Would be oblige if somebody can help
