I had recently started computer centre & obviously it does not fall under service tax registration. Can I apply for service tax voluntary and after receiving registration number is it necessary to charge service tax at the time of fee received from the students. Please advice & thanks in advance.

Dear Kumar

you turn over limit is not more than 12 lacs then you are not liable to pay service tax and not need to charge in fees which is collect from your student.

The computer coaching and training comes under Commercial coaching and training. Once you cross Rs. 10 lakhs of taxable services in the previous year then you are liable for payment of ST in the current year from Re. 1. In your case since the value of services in pr yr is nil you can claim the exemption upt Rs.10 lakhs under not. 6/2005. After that you can start charging and collecting the ST. You can be registered. It is advisable in the maentime to file the 6 monthsly returns claiming the said exemption and disclsoing the figures to avoid disputes.
