Hello,

I own a partnership firm which provides IT services (web development, digital marketing, software developement etc.,) . Started in August 2015, at present total sales were around 7 Lakhs. In next financial year I may get minimum sales around 1 lakh every month. I think if sales were more then 9 lakhs, need to file service tax. So, I am want to register for service tax. I had few queries, can any one solve thoose?

1. What documents I need to register for service tax in Andhra Pradesh?

2. How much does it costs (in total, approximatly) for the registration?

3. How many days will it take to complete the whole process.

4. Frequency of filling ST and how to deposit the money (ST) collected from my clients?

5.If I get service tax number in this financial year, Do i need to file returns? (my turnover is less then 9Lakhs)

Thnqs in advance.

You need to register only when the taxable service exceeds Rs.9 lacs in a year. Till then, it is not compulsory to register
So I suggest that you wait till then and register as otherwise you will have to unnecessarily file nil returns
However, you can register online: https://www.aces.gov.in/STASE/switch.do?prefix=/ui/jsp/common&page=/loginpage.do
