I am planning to start a new business and willing to take Service Tax number from the starting itself.

Is it mandatory for me since I have a ST number to charge tax from day 1 or will I still be allowed threshold limit of Rs 10 lakh before I should charge tax..

firstly we need to register for service tax only when our sales crosses 9lakhs and then start charging service tax when sales crosses 10 lakhs.
now if u want to take service tax number from beginning only...thn you will have to start charging service tax too and file service tax returns semi annually

So I can skip charging the tax till the day my turnover reaches 10 lakhs right..

Filing of return is a separate issue, i need clarification on charging of tax,
