What is a service tax?.How to pay the service tax return?

Answer Posted / anil prajapti

The Service Tax Assesses are required to file a half yearly
return in Form ST-3 in triplicate, to the Superintendent of
Central Excise, dealing with Service Tax work. The return
is to be filed within 25 days from the last day of the half
year it relates to and should be accompanied by copies of
all TR-6 Challans issued in the relevant period.

Half-Year period means (1) 1st April to 30th
September and (2) 1st October to 31st March.

Thus, the returns for half year ending 30th
September and 31st March are required to be filed on or
before 25th October and 25th April.

Further, assesses filing the returns for the
first time should also furnish to the department the list
of all the accounts maintained by them, relating to Service
Tax.

If no Services have been provided during a
half year and no Service tax is payable, the assessee may
file a “Nil” return within the prescribed time limit.

I run a small consultancy firm (partnership with my mother) from my residence address. My firm is not registered, but I do have a separate PAN for it. I do not have any salaried employees. I get work done by freelancers and vendors and pay them against invoice. My annual revenues are just about Rs 5-6 lakhs. I am aware that I would need to register for service tax once I touch Rs 9 lakhs. But I am confused about my obligation to get a TAN and deduct TDS for all vendor/freelancer payments. Are there any minimum thresholds for withholding TDS? Right now I pay 100% of invoice amounts. Please advise.
