A is an Individual he is doing some service oriented bussiness. His

1st year turnover was 8L

2nd year was 12L

So he is liable to pay Service tax from the 3rd year onwards bcz his previous year's(2nd year) turnover exceeds threshold limit of 10L.

1) Service Tax shall be levied on the Rs. 2 Lacs andnot on the whole Rs. 12 Lacs as the turnover of the preceding year was below the threshold limit.

 

2) The assesse should register with the Service Tax Department as soon as his turnover touches Rs. 9 Lacs.

 

3) If you refer the Finace Act, 1994, penalty shall be levied on non-registration with Service Tax Dept., non payment of Service Tax and non-filing of Service Tax Returns
