13 March 2014 Dear Expert,

I am running one consulting company, i had taken service tax number because of some lack of knowledge about service tax ,

sir, in this year my gross receipts are below 10 lacs , is it required to charge service tax in my bills to the party??

15 March 2014 Since your gross receipts are less than Rs. 10 lakhs you are NOT liable to charge service tax.

Even though you have obtained service tax registration, you are NOT liable to service tax unless the gross receipts exceed Rs. 10 lakhs.
