We are a propritorship firm. No of times we sent the goods to our parties and charged the freight in invoices as our parties are not given the freight.

We ask the transporter to give us the Bilty of service tax. but he refuses says he is a small man and does not comes under the service tax rule as his turnover is only 5 lakh p.a. 

now the service tax departnment insist us to take service tax no and chrge service tax and paid the service tax amount.

pl suggest us what we do as somebody says us that individual propritorship firms does not require service tax no and to pay service tax
