If the value of taxable services exceeds Rs. 9 Lacs, then registration with the Service Tax department is must.

Further Service Tax will be payable if the taxable services exceeds Rs. 10 Lacs.

Hence exemption limit has been given upto Rs. 10 Lacs

SIR,  WOULD LIKE SAY THAT THE OPINION GIVEN BY THE RACHIT JI IS NOT APPLICABLE

ON YOU. BECAUSE GENERAL EXEMPTION IS ONLY GIVEN TO SERVICE PROVIDER AND NOT THE SERVICE RECEIVER LIKE IN UR CASE. IN UR CASE NO EXEMPTION WILL BE ALLOWED BECAUSE YOU ARE SERVICE RECEIVER AND NOT SERVICE PROVIDER. SERVICE TAX TO BE PAID ON FIRST TRANSACTION. IF AMOUNT OF GR IS LESS THAN RS. 750 THEN EXEMPTION IS AVAILABLE ON THIS PARTICULAR CONSIGNMENT. FURTHER IMMEDIATELY TAKE SERVICE TAX NUMBER AND PAY SERVICE TAX WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DELAY. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING OR THINK THAT ANY ONE IS SAYING THAT EXEMPT UP 10 LAKH  IS AVAILABLE TO YOU THEN IT IS TOTALLY WRONG....... YOU CAN ALSO TALK ON MY MOBILE NUMBER 098728-35925 AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE NOTIFICATION NUMBER 6/2005 ST......

THANKS SIR

Dear Sir,

I agree with Mr. Sharad Aggarwal, he rightly said that exemption limit of Rs. 10 Lacs is applicable for service provider and not the service receiver. In case of GTA, service receiver is the person liable to pay service tax therefore you are liable to pay service tax.
