11 October 2012 I am a part of a Society in my college located in Delhi. We are planning to organize a Speaker Session/Seminar/Workshop in our college. The Session will be of 3 hours and we are planning to keep it a paid Seminar. Every participant will pay a Sum of Rs.200 to attend the Seminar. We expect 150 students to be part of it. I would like to know whether it will attract any service tax on our part? or any other tax? thanks

11 October 2012 Sir, But it is not organized by the college. We are just a group of students who are organizing this for the students. Our society is approved by college but it is not registered with the college.

11 October 2012 If your society's (business entity) turnover is more than Rs. 10 lakhs then you are liable to pay service tax on reverse charge system.
