29 January 2014 Her services are taxable under service tax. She can provide the services upto Rs.9 Lakh without making application for registration. After 9 Lakh she will have to apply for registration. Even then, she is not supposed to charge service tax upto Rs.10Lakh which is threshold limit in the financial year.
