Dear All,

Have few issues regarding the service tax, kindly discuss if possible:

1. Whether the exemption of Rs. 10 Lacs will be there even if our client has voluntarily registered for service tax without exceeding the threshhold limit of Rs. 10 Lacs?

2. The client did not charge the servie tax on the services rendered as the limit of Rs. 10 Lacs did not exceed. Can he claim the input of service tax for the said perod even if the threshhold limit of Rs. 10 Lacs has not exceeded?

3. If answer to point 2 is yes, then whether we can file a return carrying forward only the input of service tax which can be claimed subsequently?
