23 October 2008 While presenting Budget 2008 in the parliament, the Finance Minister announced an increase in the exemption threshold limit for service tax liability from Rs 8 lakhs to Rs 10 lakhs.

Hence, u r not required to collect Service Tax

23 October 2008 Dear Mukesh,

One can wait towards Registration of Service Tax uptill its turnover does not reaches Rs. 9 Lacs and should charge Service tax for turnover above Rs. 10 Lacs provided your turnover for last F.Y. was also below threshold limit. But , Since you have already got service tax registration no. you must charge service tax even your turnover is below threshold limit . Also you can avail input credit for services received.
