If turnover is below 10 lakh then you can cancel your registration subject to outstanding ST liability.

Hi, For service tax purpose the turn over limit should be consider for previous year, If your previous year turnover is less than 10 lakh than from next year you have 2 option if you expect the turnover greater than 10 lakh than charge the service tax and if you expect the turnover less than 10 lakh than not to charge the service tax. in the present case you have to pay the service tax in 2014-15 and in 2015-16 service tax is not applicable.

Hi Ketan,

You are liable to service tax in all the years after obtaining the registration irrespective of whether your turnover crosses the threshold of Rs.10 lakhs.

ST provisions are applicable for the FY 2014-15 and FY 2015-16.

Dear Sir,

Whether service Tax would be applicable if a company is providing transportation to students of a private schools in delhi through private school cabs. The transport charge is collected directly by the company and not by the schools.

The company is basically the aggregator and provides the service of school transport only to the students and teachers. However separately the company through different cabs and other passenger vehicles provides the service of shared transport or car pooling service.

So whether the service tax is applicable to the students and teachers transportation service???

Thanks in Advance
