28 June 2013 We are having service tax registration number, but from 3-4 years we not given any bill to our client as there is no sales.

My query is if we are issuing our bill to the client then is it chargeable to service tax or we can ignore???

If we can ignore in which circumstances or what will be conditions for that and procedure, if any??

29 June 2013 service tax is chargable only after taxable services crosses 10lacs limit and it do not have connection with registration.

hence when there is no sales, question of service tax doesn't arise. you may issue invoice.
but once your limit of 10 lac will be crossed you have to charge service tax on further invoices.

NOTE: RETURNS OF SERVICE TAX TO BE FILED ON RESPECTIVE DUE DATES WHETHER THERE IS SALE OR NOT, ONCE YOU HAVE TAKEN THE REGISTRATION, OTHERWISE THERE COULD BE PENALTY.

01 July 2013 means even if you are registered under service tax but it is not chargeable uptil the limit to be crosses of Rs.10Lacs??

As we have sale more than Rs.10Lacs only in F.Y.07-08, thereafter it is not more than that.

In F.Y.13-14, there is going to be some sales, it is mandatory to charge na, then??

01 July 2013 If you have cross the exemption limit one time then you should pay the duty from day one in another financial year. department can demand the duty.
