Service tax number

HI,

I Work as contractual employee with a company and paid a professional fees monthly. I get form 16-a.

My question is do I need to have service tax number if my income crosses 10 lakhs annually?

What is it and why is it required if I'm paying my tax annualy?

I am new to this, any help will be appreciated.

Service tax is an indirect tax in which the burden can be shifted to the person who is paying you. In your case it is your employer. So technically you are not paying the st, rather you are just an agent to the govt. As far as income tax is concerned, deduct the st component and show the net amount as your income.

Thanks!!!...

But I get professional fee as payment that is a fixed amount depending upon the number days I work.

My question was is it neccessary to get a service tax number even if I am paying my income tax on the the amount I get.
