28 August 2010 I have received letter of service tax department for return filing even you have nil tax..

I am confusing about how to written down only receipt & invoice amount in st-3 return.

in short pls guide how to file nil return for 2 years.

thanks in advance

31 August 2010 are you already registered in service tax?. if you are already registered, then the basic exemption limit will not apply and you will have to pay service tax on consideration received (ie Rs. 7 lakhs).

In case you are not registered, you are not required to file returns.
