We are running a business of transportation of school students. However we do not receive any consideration from school nor we raise any invoice on school. Entire consideration is received from school students directly. Now my question is whether these services is taxable or exempt?

Services of transportation provided to educational institution is exempted from levy of GST. In this case the services are provided to students and consideration also paid by students,and not the educational institution.There may be some difference of opinion but the very purpose of this exemption is to exempt this service.So the substance is serving the objective of services for school education.You may have agreement with school where it is mentioned that the transportation charges should be collected directly from students.This is to have your case stronger in case the department objects later on.
