Respected Mr Rangaraj thank you for your response. The matter here is that supposedly I sm doing business for the last 3 years and my annualturnover is over a crore. The jobs executed fall in the service tax category but I was never asked or never felt tge need for service tax. But if I want to register now then do I have to end up paying service tax for the ladt 3 years also . Please note that I have not charged service tax in my bill during the last 3 years. Then upon the time of audit what would the department people say.
