Clarification on Service Tax Exemption Limit 10 Lakh :
Service tax turnover of Rs.11,70000 lacs. Please clarify, whether he has to pay service tax on 11 lacs or Rs.1 Lacs (in excess of exemption of 10 lacs).
Basically service tax charged by service provider from service receiver and then liable to pay to the Government.
Assumed that Service provider billing (taxable turnover as listed in relevant notification) for his client as under:- For Rs. 120000 ( in the of Apr 2011) For Rs 150000 ( in the month of 2011) For Rs 200000 ( in the month of June 2011) For Rs 500000 ( in the month of Dec 2011) For Rs 200000 ( in the month of Jan Feb & March2012)
Say total Amt. of Billing for 2011- 2012 Rs. 11,70,000/-
In my opinion he can avail exemption limit of 10 lakhs for first year and on Rs. 1,70,000/- he is liable to pay tax whether he charged or not.

You are very correct.. Service Tax needs to be charged once your taxable turnover exceeds threshold limit that is 10 Lacs. In your case 170000 is the value of service in which you need charge tax....
