I sell designs for baby accessories through my blog which can be categorized under Fashion Designing. All my customers are outside India and I get my earnings in US Dollars in my PayPal account. I found that Export of Services is exempt from Service Tax. I have two questions, if I am exempt, do I have to register for Service Tax or not? My income exceeded 10 lacs last year. Also what documents will be required to prove that it is export of services in case I have to register? Who is the authority taht will issue such document, my Bank or PayPal?

You shall register, Even though your service is expempted, and file the service tax returns half yearly by reflecting the turnover of tax exempted services in Column "II" "L" of the return
And also you can get the foreign inward remittance certificate from your bank and keep that as proof for the same.
