Yes they should register

If your client has crossed the threshold exepmtion limit which is Rs. 10 lacs as per the Notification 8/2008 dated 1.03.2008.

After the registration, your client should charge the Service Tax on the Total Bill amount (i.e. the actual expenses + his profit) to the clients. and they can take the credit of the Service Tax paid on their Expenses and the difference has tobe paid by them which is collected from the party.

Consequent upon increase in threshold limit of exemption from Rs.8 lakh to Rs.10
lakh, notification No.26/2005-Service Tax dated 07.06.05 and notification No.27/2005-
Service Tax dated 07.06.05 have been amended to raise the limit for obtaining service tax
registration from Rs.7 lakh to Rs.9 lakh.
