Dear Expert

Background:

Our company makes student kits which enable activity based learning, the kits help students to understand concepts in science. We also train the teachers to explain the concepts using our activity kits and we also monitor the kids and the teachers performance and report the same to the principal. We charge for the kits as well as for the service(Training and monitoring).

My Queries:

1) are services chargable to service tax, if yes under what taxable service

2) is the kit subject to sales tax (APVAT/CST)
3) are there any benefits (like grants, subsidies,tax waivers etc.) for an educational company like ours.

Thank You,
