Dear Sir,
We are an educational institution, conducting various technical courses. We intend to give training to professionals in technical field. The fees which we will be charging, should we add service tax to it?
If we conduct tests on machines and give them certificates and charge them as testing fees, should we add service tax for this too?
Is service tax exempted for educational institutes and engineering colleges?

Dear Sirs
If a person Mr.Z sells machinery (ie capital goods) on behalf of a foreign company in India and earns commission income thereon from the foreign company in foreign currency, is he liable to pay service tax on the amount received. (He has not included service tax in the bill sent to the foreign company). Would the answer be different if he sells any other goods instead of capital goods.
Waiting for response asap.
