service tax return

[d.v. gupta]

sir,

from this half year return has  to file online. we are providing service below ten lacs, thie half year we have provide service of 350000. my question is, where we should reflect the figur while filing online return or we should file nil return.

In my opinion you have to file a nil return reflecting the above figure and claiming exemption by quoting the Exemtion Notification No. (which I think is 08/2009)

AI Summary

Service tax exemption: file a nil online half year return reflecting service value and claim exemption under notification.
Providers below the turnover threshold should file the prescribed online half year return as a nil return while disclosing the actual service value and claiming the exemption by citing the applicable exemption notification.
