Service Tax Manual: Registration Process, Exemptions for Small Providers, and Penalties for Non-Compliance Explained
The Service Tax Practice Manual outlines the registration process and related provisions for service tax. It mandates that individuals liable for service tax must apply for registration using the ST-I form online, with specific documentation and procedures. Small service providers with turnovers below 10 lakhs can avail exemptions but must register once their turnover exceeds 9 lakhs. Registration can be centralized for multiple premises if centralized billing or accounting is used. Amendments to registration must be reported within 30 days, and registration certificates are non-transferable. Surrender of registration is required when services cease, and penalties apply for delayed or non-registration.
