Dear Aditya,

Thanks for the information.

Is it easy to file ST-3 return by downloading the form (13 pages & in
triplicate) or I will have to find IT consultant?

What will be his charges approximately?

Thanks in anticipation.

22 April 2010 Dear AA
service tax is leviable if your gross receipts exceeds Rs. 1,000,000/- and not otherwise. So as per information given ur turnover is less than Rs. 1,000,000/- during the financial year 2009 - 10. So no service tax to be paid.

Since you have a service tax registration number you are liable for filing retun every half yearly in triplicate. The due date for filing return for March 2010 is 25th April, 2010. You have to file only return and not pay any taxes.

22 April 2010 And since it is almost a NIL return i. e. you only have to fill the return by inputting details such as amount billed and amount credited it can be done by yourself also. Also a consultant will charges you roughly around Rs. 1,000 - Rs. 2,000/- for the same if you are unable to do it yourself.
