Service tax for e-business

See if you are not a company and just a startup then there is no necessity to get a service tax number. Wait till your business reaches a turnover of 9.00 Lacs then get yourself registered for service tax. In case you are using a lot of services where you get service tax credit & it is worth to have a service tax number to save some money, then please go right ahead and get the service tax number.

Thanks Praveen Ji for your nice comments. My simple questions are..

1. I am on starting phase to start e-business and i am not sure my business will reach at turnover at 9 lac or not. Inthis case should I go for service tax?

2. If I get service tax number in the begining of my business than is it necessary to charge service tax ? from the customers? till my turnover reaches at Rs9.00 lac?

3. If i am not charging service tax from the customers till my turnover reaches at Rs 9.00 lac than, is it necessary to file the return?

no need to get registered till your turnover is 9 lac and there is no requirement to charge it from your customers also

but if you charge them then it is mandatory to fill return and pay tax

if in  any previous year your turnover reaches 10 lac you are required to charge ST

Thanks Anushree,

May I  ask  besides ST is there any other registration required from government body  to start e-business (e-job portal)
