Sirs,

I am going to start a new service proving business ( not under Negative  List) from 1/4/2014. My expected gross  turnover during FY 2014-15 may exceed Rs. 40.00 Lakh. My query :

( 1) When do I need to get myself registered with Service Tax Authority, -----Is it within 30/04/2014?

( 2) When my liability to pay ServiceTax arise? -------- Is it from 1st April 2015?

(3)  What would be my position if I start the business on 25th March 2014 with Rs. 50,000/- as turnover up to 31st March 2014 ?
