04 September 2010 Hello sir,

My friend is running a company, Nature of business is providing guidence to the students. He is having agreements with foreign Universites. i.e If the student is joined with the mentioned universities they give the commission on the basis of the student fee payment. Here we are giving the guidence to the student in India for approaching the foreing universities like How to apply, How to send the docuements, how to communicate with the university, explaining about the universities and other guidences to the student.For this he does not charge any amount from the student. Student after joining in to the university, they gave the commission on the fees paid by the student to the university.
One more clarification is we didnot collect service tax from student. we are collecting from the student only actuals.like Application Fee, DD Amount, Courier Charges.
Our turnover is exceeding 9 lacs.
Please give the advise to us whether the service tax applied or not.

Regards.
Praveen
