However, where a person has commenced his business for providing taxable services after the date when Service Tax is levied, the application for registration is to be made within 30 days from the date of commencement of business. Penalty is levied in case the service provider fails to seek registration within the prescribed time limits. Registration: The service provider whose gross receipts exceeds Rs. 10,00,000/- (One Million Rupees) needs to be registered with the Service Tax Department. The gross receipt upto the extent of Rs. 1,00,000/- are exempt from Service Tax. However, this exemption is available only once till the gross receipts have not crossed the Rs. 10 lacs limit. Once the gross receipt exceeds Rs. 10 lacs, the services provider needs to collect and pay service tax on each billing. SINGLE PREMISE REGISTRATION: In case service provider is providing services from multiple place of business, separate registration is required in respect of each premise from where the services are rendered. The application shall be filed in Form ST-1. CENTRALIZED REGISTRATION: In case where the service provider is providing taxable services from more than one premises and has Centralised billing system, Centralised accounting system, he may at his option opt for the centralized registration for all such premises. other hand if taxable services are provided by the assessee from more than one premise, and he does not have a centralized billing system, he has to make a separate application for registration in respect of each of such premises. The application shall be filed in Form ST-1 with additional documents. INPUT SERVICE DISTRIBUTOR: An office who is receiving only input services and not providing any outprut service can distribute the CENVAT Credit of the service tax paid on input services.

If PAN has not been allotted or applied for, the same is to be indicated. A certificate of registration in Form ST-2 shall be issued within 7 days from the date of receipt of the application in Form ST-1. However if the registration certificate is not granted within the 7-day period, the registration applied for shall be deemed to have been granted. In the latter case where registration is deemed to have granted a slight anomaly may arise owing to the non-allotment of registration number in the light of the fact that Circular No. V/DGST/30-Misc- 29/2001/3674 dated September 18, 2003 read with the Service Tax Credit Rules, 2002 require all service providers providing taxable services to quote their registration number on their invoices.

The registration certificate issued to an assessee can be amended on various grounds namely change in address of business premises, change in name and style of firm etc. There is minimum/threshold limit that is prescribed for registration. if you are engaged in providing a service which fall under the scope of specified taxable services, you are liable for service tax, unless specifically exempted (like aggregate value of services rendered in the entire financial year do not exceed Rs 10 Lakhs).
