16 April 2013 Dear Expert,

I have the following query regarding service tax. Assessee is a music director and has registered successfully with the service tax department. He later got clarification that his services are exempt from service tax.
Should he continue to file service tax returns showing his service income and avail exemption, or is it better to surrender the registration? He has no other taxable service income.
Request clarification in this regard.

17 April 2013 If the service is taxable then what is fun in fling NIL Returns or Exempted returns . Please surrender the Registration and don't forget to get acknowledgement from Service Tax department.
