Hi, It attracts Serivec tax under Business Aauxilliary Services. just for a accademic interest i am giving the following: The annual threshold limit of service tax exemption for small service providers has been increased from Rs.8 lakh to Rs.10 lakh with effect from 01.04.2008 by amending Notification No.6/2005-ST dated 01.03.05 vide Notification No. 8/2008 ST dated 01.03.08. Consequent upon the increase in the threshold exemption limit from Rs.8 lakh to Rs.10 lakh, the annual turnover limit for obtaining service tax registration has also been increased from Rs.7 lakh to Rs.9 lakh with effect from 01.04. 2008 by amending Notification Nos.26/2005-ST and No.27/2005-ST, both dated 07.06.05 vide Notification Nos. 9/2008 ST and 10/2008 ST, both dated 01.03.08 respectively
In view of above, i believe entire Rs.27 Lacs attracts Service tax @12.36%.
