                      2.Is there any exemption relating to the this case

                      3. Is there any tax planning that can be done to to avoid/reduce tax payament

1) Service Tax is payable by the provider of Labour if Gross Sarvice cross the limit of 10Lacs.

2) As per my opinion, there is no any specific exemption is available.

Dear Friends

I have a query regarding ST return. As i filed a ST return for the 1st half year Apr 13 to Sep 13. However todays i.e. 25th April 14 i came to know that the return submitted earlier has been rejected as the reason was that in ST3, i filled constitution of the applicant as "registered private company" instead of "firm". 

Now i need your help. Please do suggest whether this can be rectified or not if yes then why and not then why not. And also is any penalty can be levied?
