We have a small computer institute running from last two year, there was loss in first year & very low income in the second year (means income is much low 10,00,000/- pa), we provide computer training & placement. We had taken voluntary service tax no. before 2 year at the time of starting office. Please tell us should we start filling nil tax return or if we don’t file return there will be any penalty for that. We had not file any return yet. Also, should we mention service tax no on our invoice, where we are not charging any service tax? Please Suggest.

1) filing of return is mandatory ( even nil return is to be filed in time)

2) service tax does not ask for profit/income or loss, but gross receipt / taxable service provided.

3)you have to show your registration no on invoice, and service tax - NIl upto exemption limit
