30 September 2012 Hello Everyone,
i have one doubt in my mind,i want to know whether i am eligible for taking service tax number.
i am estate agent, earning brokerage around 8 lac per year, bank interest around 50,000 and rent around 5,50,000(gross).
someone told me your rent + brokerage cross 10 lac limit of income so you need to take service tax number.
please help me.
