Service tax applicability and registration

service tax is a govt levy, you can not collect it without registration, 

once collected u can not keep it with you, but you have to deposit with govt

for registration, visit 

www.aces.gov.in

Bro, first of all As per section 69 of the finance act , 1994, which reads as follows

Every provider of a service whose turnover in a year has exceeded 9 lakh has to apply to the department within 30 days of crossing the limit for registration in form " ST- 1 ".

So it is very much cleared that as yout t/o is maximum 900000, so you dont have to apply for registration.

Secondly, you cannot levy service tax, as due to ssi exemption.

Agreed with Sanyam. You dont need any service tax registration as long as your turnover does not exceed Rs. 9 lakhs. You are not liable to collect any kind of service tax in this regard.

Agreed with all above....

1. First u understand himself that service rendered is covered in taxable service head..sec 69
2. If u not registered u can not collect service tax...
3. U need to registered when amount of service rendered is exceed Rs 900000..with in 30 days apply for registration in ST-1 form....
4. Up to Rs 1000000....known as small service provider...so need to collect..service tax...

Is dealer in excise goods regd with Service tax  under GTA having taxable turnover below  Nine lacs in previous year have to pay Service Tax in the current F.Y1.4.2011 to 31.3.2012 as the same below 9 lacs turnover is expected this year also.

Can we  surrender  the Service Tax Registration for cancellation.

@ Ca Praveen

 the sec 69 u referred is for registration & not for taxable services correct me if iam wrong & secondly the service of forestation & tree plantation is not covered under service tax net

thanks

Agreed with Navinkumar.

To my knowledge so far the above mentioned service has not been brought to the tax net. Therefore no question of Registration and applicability arises.

Voluntary registration can be obtained if atleast one taxable service is provided or one comes under the special category viz., Input service Distributor or tax payer under reverse charge. Not the case here. But voluntary registration should normally be avoided as filing of return is mandatory.

volentry registration may be obtained evenif turnover is max 9 lacs & one can charge ST to it's clients.........

this type of requirment generally arises when clients are asking for ST bill....

procedure :--------------

fill St - 1 at ACES website ( first of fall you have to register yourself on this site )

submit 2 print out of it to your respective ST ward with proof of ID, PAN card, power of attorny (if required) & proof of address of office ( rent deed / registry ). you will be given back a copy of ST - 1 with seal of reciept  on it

after 2-3 days ( max 7 days) you may take printout of ST-2 from ACES website & submit it in 2 copies to your ward. you will be given back 1 copy of ST - 2 with seal & sign of superitendent on it.

ITs original ST - 2 form in your hands........

you may also give Rs.400-500 to inspector for an early response..........
