Service tax registration number on coaching centre
Querist : Anonymous
My client is having a coaching institute with 17-20 teachers and having receipts of more than 40 lacs in a year. Please let me know whether registration for the same is required under service tax. If yes, then under which service head?

### 1. **Is Service Tax registration required for a coaching institute with turnover > ₹40 lakhs?**
* **Yes, definitely.**
Since the turnover exceeds the threshold (₹10 lakh exemption limit earlier; now definitely exceeded), the coaching center **must register for Service Tax**.
---
### 2. **Under which Service Tax category does a coaching center fall?**
* The correct **service category is “Commercial Coaching or Training Services”** under Service Tax.
* This covers coaching institutes, training centers, and similar educational services provided commercially.
---
### 3. **Summary**
| Criteria | Applicability |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| Turnover above exemption limit | Mandatory registration & tax payment |
| Service Category | Commercial Coaching or Training Services |
---
### 4. **Additional Notes**
* Even if you are not charging separate Service Tax in the fees (some coaching centers absorb tax), you must still register and comply with filing requirements.
* Service Tax registration helps legal compliance and claim of any input credits (if applicable).
