04 January 2010 Service tax exemption is for 10L. IF your turnover exceeds 7.50 Lakhs in 3 consecutive years then you required to register under service tax however you need to charge and pay service tax only if your turnover exceeds 10L.

04 January 2010 As per the provisions of Section 69(2), the person whose receipt from the taxable services (excluding exempted services) in the current financial year, exceeds 9 lakh, is required to take registration in the same financial year. Though up to the receipt of 10 lakh, he is not required to pay service tax but in the current year the total value of taxable services(including exempted services) exceeds 10 lakh, then in the next year he would be liable to pay tax on taxable service(excluding exempted service) from the first receipt.As no exemotion would be available.

In case he does not charge service tax on 2/3 lakh bills, the value released would be taken as inclusive service tax and by reverse calculation, the service tax would be deposited.
