Dear Sir, We have started providing works contract services from FY 2011-12 but our taxable value of service does not exceeding Rs 10 lakh during the FY 2011-12.Now We get registered since May-2012 in the Service Tax department so please help me about the following question: a) That if we provide total taxable value of works contract service during the FY 2012-13 amounting to Rs 15 Lakh, can we avail a exemption of Rs 10 lakh vide notification no 06/2005 and paid service tax on Rs 5 Lakh only.And what be the situation if we collect service tax from customer on Rs 15 lakh.
b)If our taxable value of service does not exceed Rs 10 Lakh upto 30th Sep, 2012 then is it mandatory for us to file half yearly ST-3 return for the period Apr-Sep 2012.

a) Can avil threshold limit in FY 2012-13 meaning thereby ST need to be paid only on Rs. 5 lakhs. If ST is collected on Rs. 15 lakhs, collected amount has to be paid to govt which means notification 6/2005 can't be applied therein. b) ST-3 has to be filed for April to Sept,2012 though service receipts is below the threshold limit.
