Do Service Tax applicable????

What is the training for- I think it must be for some vocational skill. If it is so, it is exempted.

Dear Mr. Rajesh,

            Thanks for your response. This is a dual motivated event. First choice is that we want to enhance the skills of our employees with other professionals in the industry. This training is to be provided by top experts from abroad in the industry. 

             Second we use this event for our business promotion. We could promote our organisation's profile through this event in the industry. Kindly suggest on our status now. 

             Even the fresh regsitration would be of no use to us. Kindly reply.

You are not providing any service. Basically you are organising an event, for yourself, which may consist of some training, motivation, your own promotion etc. Off course, from some person you may ask for participation fee. You are not providing any taxable service to any person, no service tax is payable.

Even if it is payable you can always claim 10 lakhs exemption. That may serve your purpose.

Further, you are not importing any service too. You are calling experts and you will pay them individually. Just deduct TDS on their payments, and be happy.  

Thanks a lot for your guidance.
