26 October 2010 i think this the fourth time im seeing the same query.

See
1.Vodafone is service provider and retailer is service receiver. but you are not liable to pay and collect service tax. you are just agent that's all.
2.if you want to register, then you can register with service tax with the business head of 'Business Auxilliary Services'.
3.you can calculate service tax based on quantity. for example:

receiving 100 recharges cards value is 100xRs.10=Rs.1000+ser.tax10.3%=1103. when you distributing to retailers you may charge the 100 cards value as 100xRs.13=Rs.1300+Service Tax10.3%=Rs.1434. So your tax liability is Rs.134-103=Rs.31. hope you understand. Other wise better to meet a consult locally.
