25 March 2016 services provided to an educational institution are exempt from service tax. By virtue of the entry in the negative list and by virtue of the portion of the exemption notification, it will be clear that all services relating to education are exempt from service tax. There are many services provided to an educational institution. These have been described as “auxiliary educational services” and they have been defined in the exemption notification. Such services provided to an educational institution are exempt from service tax. For example, if a school hires a bus from a transport operator in order to ferry students to and from school, the transport services provided by the transport operator to the school are exempt by virtue of the exemption notification

25 July 2025 If your training service qualifies as an auxiliary educational service or is provided to a recognized educational institution, it is exempt from Service Tax.
