25 April 2010 I have a Partnership firm....in whose P&L a/c expenditure of freight on purchase is also shown... which amounts to Rs.5lac - 9lac.

I know that being a p'ship firm liability of service tax falls on the firm under REVERSE CHARGE MECHANISM..
But my question is whether the firm needs to register and pay service tax even though my value of freight is less than Rs.9lac and Rs.10 lac respectively..

And if yes brief particulars of provision and sections to be also given...
