07 August 2012 In the year 2005, service tax was introduced on dry cleaning services however wer cleaning i.e. laundry was kept outside the ambit of service tax.

However with the inception of the negative list regime what will be the application of service tax on laundry services?
If the service tax is applicable any abatement that is available.

Please guide.
