THANKS IN ADVANCE
Dear Kumar,
1) There is no need to mention Service Tax No. on the invoice. But once the turnover goes above Rs. 10 Lacs , then you will have to charge Service Tax.
2) It is advisable to file Nil Service Tax Return.
Regards,
Rajesh Choudhary.
I. think you should file the Service Tax Return by showing your Income as Exepmted under the Notification no. 8/2008 dated 01.03.2008
Non-filing may attract penalty. File returns now as suggested by Sushma. Convince the Range Officer of your bonafide and request for waiver of penalty.
providing of any service, whether taxable or exempted you are suppose to file your return once you got your self registerd
