As for Service tax is concerned, once the serivice is notified by the Law, then the assessee ( service provider ) is obliged to pay the service tax. It is immaterial whether the service provider collects the tax from the customer or not.
Therefore, please refer the Service Tax notifications list and find the effective date of your service coming to the tax net. From that date, you have to pay service tax
First register with the Central excise Department, Service Tax wing and they will issue notice to you regarding how much service tax you have to pay alongwith interest. Penalty may be avoided by request to the Service Tax commissioner of your concerned range.
The service tax is payable only the receipts exceed the limits specified. Currently the limit is Rs. Eight lakhs per annum. Please refer this site's portal for previous years' limits.
