16 August 2012 Boarding School provides services of education coupled with residence and food. This shall be a BUNDLED SERVICE, for which taxability shall be decided in terms od Section 66 F. In this case the dominent service is an education and than residence.(Section 66 D (M)), the entire Service would be covered in a Negative list.

17 August 2012 I agree to DISAGREE. The taxability is of PVT LTD CO and not educational institute. In the hands of PVT LTD co; as service provider, it is taxable service.
