21 July 2025 In your ST-3 return, you need to mention the total value of all services provided, including both taxable and non-taxable services.

Here's how it works:

You first report the total gross value of all services (taxable + non-taxable).

Then, in a separate column or section, you deduct the value of non-taxable services from the total.

After this, you calculate the service tax only on the taxable services value.

You can also claim the exemption (like the Rs. 10 lakh exemption) on the taxable turnover as applicable.

So, to summarize:

Total service value = Taxable + Non-taxable services

Deduct Non-taxable service value to arrive at Taxable service value

Pay service tax on Taxable service value (after exemptions)

This method helps the tax department verify your taxable turnover and exemptions properly.
