10 February 2010 U can charge service tax only if you are registered with the authority and have the registration no.
Also, u are required to deposit the realised Tax with the govt.

10 February 2010 As per service tax rules, your turnover exceeds the minimum exemption limit for registration purpose, so first u need to got regsitered with the authority.

Then now being the first year of your service u need not collect and pay service tax on the services provided upto Rs.10 lac being SSP.

Over the above limit you are liable to collect service tax and deposit the same to the govt. within the time specified therein./

Once u got registered u should mandatorily file STR.
