Hey Experts,
I need little help.

I am Freelancer (Blogger- Running my blog, writing articles on it—getting traffic on it and advertisers are paying me for ads like Google Adsense) I don’t have any registered business with shop act.

Since my turnover is crossing the 10L I heard that I need to register for Service tax number and then proceed to pay same. (My income is not under the Service tax— ii) It is export related ii)Generated via time based ad space sell.

** My first question is that Should I register for service TAX number? If yes then can I do same without any shop act license?
