This query is : Resolved

Our client is an LLP providing Physician services by sending the Physicians to the patients home. Kindly let me know whether LLP and the Physicians services are liable to service tax?

Not the physician, but the services of LLP should b taxable, if service invoice is raised by the LLP.

Hi Sandeep thanks for your reply. But as per the Mega Exemption Notification No. 25/2012 medical services are exempted from the Service Tax i guess. Please give clarity over this

You're right to refer to the **Mega Exemption Notification No. 25/2012** — it exempts many healthcare-related services from service tax.
Here’s how it applies to your case:
### Taxability of Physician Services Provided by LLP:
* **Medical Services Exemption:**
Under **Notification No. 25/2012**, services provided by a clinical establishment, an authorized medical practitioner, or paramedics are **exempt from service tax**. This generally includes services by doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel.
* **Physician Services at Patient's Home:**
The service of sending physicians to patients’ homes **falls under medical services** provided by an authorized medical practitioner (assuming the physicians are qualified). Hence, these services are **exempt from service tax**.
* **LLP as Service Provider:**
Since the LLP is providing the physician service (either directly or by sending physicians), the service is still considered a medical service, **thus exempt**.
### Important Notes:
* If the LLP is providing non-medical services (e.g., management consulting, housekeeping, or any other services unrelated to healthcare), those may be taxable.
* Only genuine medical services by qualified professionals enjoy this exemption.
---
### Conclusion:
**Both LLP and Physicians providing home visit medical services are exempt from service tax** under the Mega Exemption Notification, provided the services fall under the definition of medical services.

If you want, I can help you draft a formal opinion or analyze if any specific activities by LLP may be taxable beyond the medical services. Would you like that?
