14 June 2010 Consequent upon increase in threshold limit of exemption from Rs.8 lakh to Rs.10
lakh, notification No.26/2005-Service Tax dated 07.06.05 and notification No.27/2005-
Service Tax dated 07.06.05 have been amended to raise the limit for obtaining service tax
registration from Rs.7 lakh to Rs.9 lakh.

14 June 2010 The relevant aspect to be examined as to whether Restaurant is providing any taxable service and if so what is the turnover from such taxable service. Serving food and beverage in Restaurant, per se, is not a taxable service, but covered under VAT.
For example, a Restaurant may be providing outside catering service, in that case if taxable turnover from outside catering service exceeds Rs 9 lakh, Restaurent has to obtain service tax registration and if taxable turnover exeeds Rs 10 lakhs, it has to pay service tax.
Furthermore, if the Restaurent is importing any taxable service or receiving any taxable service wherein recepient is tax payer, it has to obtain registration.
