In case of an Educational Institute, registered for service tax purposes, executes different educational programmes from the financial support (90%) of a Ministry of Government of India and students (10%).

Funds are received by the Ministry under grants-in-aid, and individual projects are approved based on the detailed proposal with budget submitted by the Educational Institute.

After the Registration, first proposal has now been submitted and Ministry on examinatioin has stated that service tax cannot be paid as financial support is given by the Ministry from Grants in aid and it is not a commercial transaction.
Educational Institute has stated that since it is payable by receipient of service and that it is collected for payment to Concerned Service tax authority of the GOvernment of India.

Query 1- Whether service tax is recoverable under these circumstances, if yes,
(a) whether justification of Educational Institute is sufficient.
(b)If not, what more arguments can be given so that the Ministry agrees to pay serivce tax

Query 2- If service tax is not recoverable under these circumstances, Why it should not be recovered under which section of Service tax Rules.

Please guide the service tax provisions, whether service tax applicable to this case? and we are rental income from other properties also.In case if required to pay service tax.. who has to pay the service tax i.e service provider or service receiver. Please clarify ?

Wheather Subscription Fees or Membership Fees collected by association (Trust)collected from its members is liable to Service Tax or not??

I have a Rental Income of Rs.15 lakhs. From one tenant it is Rs.12 lakhs and from the second tenant it is Rs.3 lakhs. So service tax is to be paid on Rs. 12 lakhs or Rs.15 lakhs. The second tenant is not ready to pay service tax as his rent is only 3 lakhs.Plz explain whether service tax is to be paid on full amount or only on Rs.12 lakhs.

Thanks.
