Hi, I am an individual technical proffesional.

I am providing technilcal services to UK.

I was not very much aware of the service tax rules, but was knowing that Export of service is exempted.

However this financial year, the income has exceeded 10,00,000 INR. Should I get a service tax registration.

Also I have already billed for the same amount and the amount has been credited to my account. Will there be any fees for delaying the service tax registration?

Please suggest.

In my Opinion it is better for you to have a service tax registration. If you have had only export turnover and India turnover below the exemption limit there is no need to worry on the fees / charges / pentaly.

Since you are exporter you could claim refunds to service tax which you have paid bills of your vendors (subject to applicablity). Hence my suggestion is to have yourself / company registered for Service tax.

@ Rahul

In your case as far as my concern is service tax registration is mandatory for your enterprises. Since your service is applicable for Service Tax and exepmt from tax. However there is no penalty for registration for your case. Because your service is exempt from tax.......

No service tax registration is required in your case. As your taxable turnover has not crossed Rs 9lac you are not required to take registration under Service Tax Rules, 1994.
