Dear friends Our client got registered himself with service tax in January 2010. His total taxable services is below 10 lakhs in financial year 2009-10 and 2010-11 due to which he has not collected any service tax.
Now
1. Should he file a nil return? If he does not file whether there is any penalty for the same.
2. Does he have to pay service tax on below 10 lacs even though service tax has not collected?

1. ST-3 has to be filed. Belated filing attracts penalty under rule 7C of the service tax rules,1994 though it can be waived since there is no tax effect. 2. No need to pay ST, for want of collection.
