Dear Sir, As per my view, service tax is exempt on services provided by any association to its members/persons up to an amount of five thousand rupees per member/person per month for the sourcing of common services/goods from a third person. If the share/contribution is exceeds from 5000 rupees then it would be taxable. Notification No.25/2012-ST dated 20.06.2012-S.No.28. However some clarifiation on the matter has also provided by the cbec vide the circular No.175 dt.10.01.2014.
