Service tax

Dear Murugesan,

As per my Knowledge, a provider of Taxable Service is compulsorily required to get Service Tax Registration within 30 days of crossing the threshold limit of Rs.9 lakhs of gross receipts in a year from such taxable services for the first time. Though tax is to be paid only after crossing threshold limit of Rs.10 lakhs.

Agree

Thank you Mr.Gupta and Mr.Hemant for your prompt reply,

and one more question,

if we cross 10 lakhs in december, then we need to pay  tax April to December month tax.

AGREE WITH ABOVE

Dear Murugesan,

No, you would not be required to pay Service Tax on Receipts from April to December. To be more clear, you are required to charge service tax on your bills only on crossing the threshold limit of Rs.10 lakhs. Just keep track of your total receipts and when you expect to cross the above limit of Rs.10 lakhs, start charging and paying service tax on your receipts from taxable services.

Now for registration is 9 lakh and 10 lakh for liability for Service tax.
