The value of the following services need not be considered in aggregate value: (a) Value of services in the Negative List, (b) Value of services under Exemption Notification 33/2012 or any other notification which provides for full exemption from service tax. The value of the following services will be considered in aggregate value: Complete reverse charge and partial reverse charge has to be included in the aggregate value except complete reverse charge in case of GTA service as clarified in the notification number 33/2012 itself. “For the purposes of determining aggregate value not exceeding ten lakh rupees, to avail exemption under this notification, in relation to taxable service provided by a goods transport agency, the payment received towards the gross amount charged by such goods transport agency under section 67 of the said Finance Act for which the person liable for paying service tax is as specified under sub-section (2) of section 68 of the said Finance Act read with Service Tax Rules, 1994, shall not be taken into account.”

So Your GTA Service Need Not to Count. Hence You Need Not to register With Service Tax Authorities.Till Your Rental Income Doesnt Cross 9 Lacs in Any Previous Year.
