Dear Vikash,
Please clarify as what is this Rs 750/-
If you are liable to pay the service tax then you have to take iummidiate action to register yourself with service tax department and file all belated returns along with the Service tax not paid till now .
Consult an advisor for the said purpose .

Sir please read this,
Exemptions/Abatement if any Notification 13/2008 ST dated 01.03.2008 provides an exemption of 75% of the gross amount charged for the transportation of goods and consequently, service tax would be payable only on 25% of the amount charged, at the applicable rate which is 10.3% at present. Notification 34/2004 ST dated 03.12.2004 as amended also provides an exemption from service tax where the amount of freight charged for individual consignments does not exceed Rs. 750 and for other consignments where it does not exceed Rs. 1500. Service tax has also been exempted on transport of goods by road service for transportation of fruits, vegetables, egg or milk, under Notification 33/2004 ST dated 03.12.2004. |

U mean to pay and file service tax return for the 2nd half only or for both half year? |
|
lots of confussion u carry :)
1. u have to divide ur GTA in two parts a) transport bills above 750 ( where ur consignment is only charged) and b) above 1500 ( where u have hired a full vehicle )
2. monthwise u have to calculate total of such transactions
3. take abatement of 75% on gross such transactions ( generally its nominal in value)
4. pay for oct/nov /dec in jan and for jan/feb/mar in march, file return in april by 25th
5. for april-sept 1st of all determine the taxable figure, and if possible then shift the liability to 2nd half by switching the payment dates.
for earlier years u have to wait for departmental audit, disclose the facts to them and show that unwilingly its done, in absence of proper guidelines, they will help u surely as u r wiling to pay the revenue.
