05 July 2013 First of all a small service provider availing exemption under notification 33/2012, i.e. rs. 10 lacks, is not required to take registration under service tax.

Yet if he takes registration then he is required to file periodic returns in prescribed form.

05 July 2013 Ashwani, notification 33/2012 provides for the exemption from levy of service tax if your turnover is below Rs. 10 Lakh. This notification is issued in suppression of notification no. 6/2005, which provided for the exemption. It does not talk anything about filing of return.

You can take help of this notification in the initial years for non charging of Service Tax when your turnover has not crossed Rs. 10 Lakhs and you have not charged service tax on the amount but you have obtained service tax registration.

This does not absolve your liability of filing of service tax return.
