Dear Sir, I am working in a trading co recently established in India. So far we have not started our business in India. At present we are providing services (getting orders, co-ordinating with customers etc in India) to our Holding Co in Singapore and charging service commission on the same. Do we require to register under Service Tax? when? Is there any time limit before which we have to register for eg if we have raised D/N in the month of Dec 08 then we have to get registered within 30 days? If yes do we have to raise D/N including Service Tax? Kindly reply
In your case tax is payable as soon as u make debit or credit entry in the books, even raising a Debit Note may be taken as the date for providing service.
U can always revise your D/N
If u need more and specific advise contact at: arbindaggarwal@yahoo.com
