My advertisement agency raise bill with service tax to central railway. service tax on 15% commission. railway said they are under central government so not liable to pay service tax. so they only pay commission and not service tax on that bill. please provide any notification related to it.
Services provided to government is exempt from service tax but certain services. Advertising service is not specified anywhere in the mega exemption, therefore you are required to charged service tax and railway required to reimburse the same to you as per my view.
