i hope my answer is right ..
a small service provider is a person whose pr.yr turnover does not exceed rs.9 lakhs .
in this case , he is eligible to get an exemption of rs. 10,00,000 evry year .
in your exampls ,
1st yr turnover - 15,00,000
- exemption - 10,00,000
taxable service - 5,00,000
service tax @ 12.36% on 5,00,000 - 61,800 .
for the next two yrs , no exemption limit of 10,00,000 is allowed . since the 1st year turnover exceeds 10,00,000 , the person must for go for compulsory registration .
for 2nd yr whole 10 lakhs and 3rd yr 11 lakhs are fuly taxable at 12.36 %
correct me if am wrong ....
According to Me, i think the answer is this:
A small service provider is an assessee whose value of taxable services rendered in the previous year is less than 10lakhs. For such a person, in the current year, Service tax is payable only on the value of services exceeding 10 lakhs ( which in effect means he gets an exemption of 10lakhs).
In the instant case,
In the 1st year, since he just started service ( assumption) .. the whole of the value of service of 15lakhs is taxable from the very first rupee... There is no question of him being a small service provider.
In the 2nd year, the previous year's (1st year) value of services exceeds 10lakhs.. Hence he's not a small service provider... which means the complete current year value of services of 10lakhs is taxable.
In the 3rd year, the prev year's (2nd year) value of service does not exceed 10lakhs.. so he is a small service provider. hence in the 3rd year only the value in excess of 10 lakhs is taxable. This works out to a taxable value of service of 1 lakh in the 3rd year.
However, i think this concept of small service provider is not included in the May 12 and Nov 12 IPCC syllabus anymore.. Please confirm this...
I have attached a file belonging to CA Raj K Agarwal regarding the amendments applicable for NOv12..
Hope I helped...
Dear all i have a doubt
Issue of shares in DEMAT Form - In the case of Listed Companies, is it mandatory or not.
Please clarify my doubt with proof
@ varsha nayyar
Eligiblity to claim Exemption to Small Service Providers has to be checked each year seperately based on the value of taxable turnover.
In your case , 3 rd year also can claim exemption upto 10 L since 2nd year value of taxable turnover didnt exceed 10 Lakh
@ sanjay s - if a small service provider gets registered under service tax act , he has to pay tax through out the life time unless and untill the company or firm gets dissolved . then how can he claim exemption in the third yr ??? here we should not see the third year turnover since the firm has to go for mandatory registration and hence the full service becomes taxable in his hands ..
the concept of small service provider is very well applicable for nov 12 exam .

I agree with above
@ Durga
You're absolutely right about that point..
But in the 2nd year the value of services is less than 10laks,which means he acquires the eligibility for opting the small service provider scheme in the 3rd year..
But like you said, he was required to do mandatory registration in the 1st year itself.. and once he does this he has to pay full tax.
One way to go around this issue and get an exemption of Rs. 10lakhs in the 3rd year is:
CANCEL the registration and APPLY for the SSP scheme.
Once he does this, he has to pay Service tax on only such amount exceeding Rs. 10lakhs in the 3rd year..
This is how my answer was arrived at..
@ Josmin Jose
Dematerialisation is not mandatory for pvt ltd company but it is mandatory for public ltd company whether listed or not.
I dont know about the proof.. But you can take a look at this Thread involving Experts:
/forum/demat-of-shares-192869.asp
i agree with the 10 lakhs part ..
i have referred with a well known faculty service tax .. he too expresses the view that the assesse must pay the service tax for the 2nd and 3rd yr . exemption cancellation of registration is allowed one and only when the the assesse chooses to close down the business . other wise the assesse once registered is registered .
Okay... i guess you're right on that one...
Then your answer prevails ...
[-- No exemptions in 3rd year --]
..My apologies..
@ durga
what is conclusion ?
Though assessee is registered, he can claim exemption of SSP

he cannot claim exemption in the 2nd and 3rd yr yaar .. thats the ans .. . when the assesse becomes registered he cannot fall under the category of SSP . hense service tax should be paid on taxable turnover .
