We've just started a partnership firm providing media services. We'll be signing our firt contract on monay (12th June 2017) for production of a corporate film. We are not charging any service tax as it is our first project and is for Rs 2 lakh.

Our firm's address is our home address, which is in Gurgaon. The company which has hired us for is based in Mumbai.

So will that be considered inter-state sale of service? Are we still exempt from GST till 20 lakh turnover or do we have to register?

Also how is the state decided? If we do some project for a company with headquarter in Mumbai but shoot at their factory in Karnataka but do all the post-production and editing in Gurgaon (Haryana), which state would the service provided be considered?

And what would be the date for the service? As the contract will be signed in June and work started in June. But the final delivery will take place in July or August.

Please help as it is very confusing and we are just starting a business and are really smalll scale.
