Hi friends, we have a chain of coaching institutes for CAT and other entrance tests.
We receive the fees from the students in installments and issue them the receipts accordingly.
Currently, we account entire fees with the receipt of very first installment and so pay the service tax on entire fees, say Rs.25000/- based on Receipt of say Rs. 5000/-.
My query is whether we should pay the service tax on the entire fees even if we have a receipt of only first installment or we should pay the service tax based on collection?
