The service tax department is taxing an educational institute (senior secondary school) for the Hostel (Boarding) facility provided BY the school to its students for the period 1-4-2013 to 11-7-2014 under the head “Auxiliary Education Service” on the basis of Notification 3/2013 dated 1-3-2013.

But the department had exempted the transportation service provided BY the education institute on the basis of some decided case law. But they are not exempting the hostel service provided BY the school for the period 1-4-13 to 11-7-14 in the absence of any clear notification or decided case law.

The hostel boarding charges are also well below 1000/- per day and the school is also up to 12th standard.

There should be same justification as in case of transportation service to exempt the Boarding (Hostel) facility provided by the school but he department is demanding service tax along with interest and penalty.

My query is whether there is any judgement on this matter or any notification in this regard so as to fight with the department?

Thanks in Advance.

Dear Sir

We are a manufacturing company and our holding company at Germany appointed their employee at India to look after the work to strengthen the business over India. He stayed in India for 6 months and our parent company had charged us 50% of his share and provided us the debit note for the same since they had paid the same. Now we dont have any agreement or board resolution for the same and given the approval for the same in verbal communication.

Now Audit Officers had carried out the point and they are saying us to pay service tax under reverse charge mechanism along with interest and penalty. Also debit notes provided by our company indicates Consultation Fee but the fact is it's and salary and bonus re-imbursement done by Indian company to the overseas.

Whether ST will be applicable under RCM since we have to look after the facts of services done and it comes under Manpower Classification of service and we have also shown them the act under Advance Ruling No. AAR/ST/13/2015 but they are denying the facts. Require your immediate assistance on the same and awaiting for your reply at the earliest.

Thanks & Best Regards
