25 April 2013 Hi guys,
I am doing business with name xyz pvt ltd co., for the same i hired security guard from security agency, as we know w.e.f 01/07/12 for the service mentioned above i am liable to pay tax under partial reverse charge provision and for compliance, i registered myself under service tax in the month of oct-12.
so when i m filing my return for the period july-12 to sep-12, service tax deparment is rejecting my return by giving the reason that u r not registered for the said period for service tax.
So, please help me what to do know? and share ur views ASAP.

26 April 2013 U r supposed to file return for the period, post your registration. Since u r registered in oct-12. you can file return for the period from OCt12-mar13.

10 June 2013 If syou have collected then only you are liable but if you have not collected then no need to pay anything as I suppose your limit was below the taxable limit of 10 lacs.

For other matters I agree with the expert.
