09 February 2016 Dear Jatin,
If your client provides admission services to an educational institution then the service is exempt from tax.
In case admission services are provided to an institution which does not qualify as an educational institution as defined then the commission received would be chargeable to tax @ 14.5%.
In your case amount of Rs 2,500/- would be deemed to include both the service amount and service tax amount so on the basis of reverse calculation total tax payable would be Rs 316.60 {(2500*14.5)/114.5}.

09 February 2016 Dear Tarun Ji,

Thank you very much for your quick & informative reply.

Sir, one more question

We calculate service tax on receipt basis (When admission commission recd.)

Please advise me it is OK?

Thanks & Regards,
Jatin
