27 September 2016 Hi
It is better to file half retuns, to avoid litigation expenses.
However it is not mandate in view of Circular No. 97 / 8 /2007 dated.23rd August, 2007 para 6.1, it is very clear that service tax returns are not required to be filed if the Persons who are not liable to pay service tax (because of an exemption including turnover based exemption),
There are few cases which are supporting to this argument.
1. M/s Suchak Marketing Pvt Ltd
2. Amrapali Barter Case
3. M/s b & a multiwall packaging ltd-vs-commissioner of central excise
