31 October 2012 Dear sir,
I have proprietary firm with turn over less than 09 lac. we obtain service tax registration number.I have some query for service tax.
1) Does it is compulsion to charge service tax to each customer when turn over is less than 10 lac. or can charge those customer who request for tax.
2) if we charge service tax. what is process & frequency to file the return.
3) does we need to maintain separate invoice format for taxable or non taxable invoice.

Thanks & regards

01 November 2012 If you are providing service, you have to charge service tax on invoice once value of service provided exceeds 10 lakhs.

Once you start charging service tax, has to charge service tax on every invoice

You have to pay tax quarterly to govt and file return half yearly.
