I started the a marketing consultancy company in 1999 after leaving the job.
Since I was trying for a job I started in the name of my wife, not knowing the tax implications.
Through it I was earning approx. 2.5 to 3.0 lacs pa. from 1999 to 2004.
In 2004, I closed it.
Now I have received a summons witness from the department stating that the company has not paid any service tax in 2002-2003, 2003-2004, 2004-2005, 2005-2006 and 2006-2007.
I agree I have not paid service tax since I was not knowing about the taxation issue then. Also I have not collected any service tax.

Now,

a] What will be its implication?

b] Was it mandatory then and what was the limit and service tax structure?

c] What should I do to be least penalised in the matter?

Awaiting your guidance please since I have a date with the deprtment on 14th August 2007. My books are all audited and income tax paid.

Sincerely,

Niiev.
