yes, it is taxable under both income tax and service tax. In income tax it is taxable under the business head. Also your service is exempt upto 10 lakh as per notification no. 33/2012 subject to condition.
the media includes websites also, selling space on website is liable to service tax. @ 15%
and ur service is exempted upto 10lacs, as sssp.
also, service tax is not ur income and exp. its just collected by provider and deposited to govt. ur actual taxable liability will be in income from b&p.
