25 July 2025 Hey! For **KPO (Knowledge Process Outsourcing)** or **BPO (Business Process Outsourcing)** companies, under **service tax (pre-GST era)**, the classification when filing **Form ST-1** typically falls under:

### 1. **Business Support Services (BSS)**

* This is the most common category for KPO/BPO services.
* Business Support Services include support services provided to businesses such as back-office operations, call center services, data processing, legal, accounting, and other knowledge-based activities.

### 2. **Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES)**

* Sometimes, ITES is also used for certain KPO/BPO services, especially those involving IT-based support.

* **Back office services**
* **Call center services**
* **Data processing**
* **Legal process outsourcing**
* **Research and analysis services**

### Filing in Form ST-1:

You should mention the taxable service as **Business Support Service (BSS)** or **Information Technology Enabled Service (ITES)** depending on the nature of your services.

* Under GST, these services fall under **“Other Services”** with appropriate SAC codes.
* Service tax on KPO/BPO was applicable under **Business Support Services** (Section 65(19) of Finance Act, 1994).
