My query regarding the notification is can a director can claim for exemption of Rs. 10,00,000 and thus there can be no liability of Company to pay service tax on its service.
As per Reverse Charge Mechanism applicable on the salary of Directors the exemption limit of Rs. 10,00,000 in service tax still be available to the director ?

Under the reverse charge method company is paying service tax and threshold exemption limit is not available for services taxable under reverse charge. As a corollary, question of exemption of Rs. 10 lakhs in the hands of the director doesn't arise.
As per interpretation of the notification above each and every company has to take service tax registration number who is liable to pay service tax under reverse charge method . What is your advise ?
