We are manufacturer of trailers. We are paying freight outwards ranging from Rs1000 to Rs5000 per trip. Total amount per year is less than Rs50000. Do we have to register and pay service tax.

Service Tax on Transport of Goods by Road is under reverse charge if u fall under seven categories such as Company , Reg. Dealer etc. Assuming you do then Liability is payer of Freight in simple terms.
Exemption is 750 on Consignment note basis. Small scale SP benefit( 10 Lacs) not available under reverse charge. So you need to register , Pay Taxes and file return irrespective of amount.
