IT IS NESESSARY SERVICE TAX REGISRATION FOR TRUSTS
18 February 2008
Law as it stands now, does not provide any exemption to trusts from payment of Service Tax. If they are getting paid for providing the service, they are liable for payment of Service Tax on the amount, which, they have received from their client and are to be treated as any other .service provider.
Charitable trusts are not covered under Goods Transport Agency services as consignor/consignee and, therefore don’t have to register for service tax. But many trusts are also registered under the Societies Registration Act. If that is the case then you are covered in the above specified categories of consignor/consignee and the person paying the freight would be responsible to get himself registered and to pay service tax
You may kindly evaluate your position in light of the above clarification
