Hello everyone,

 

one my client (proprietor) is running english speaking and personality development classes.

 

in the fy 2010-11 his gross receipts was 12 lacs but he did not register himself under the service tax.

 

after that every yer his gorss receipts was >10 lacs.

 

since exemption of rs.9 lac is one time his liability to collect & pay service tax has already started.

 

He is planning to open 4-5 branches more.

What should be the tax planning ? 

1. should he open a partnership firm/pvt ltd company ? or 

2. should continue as proprietorship firm ?
