15 August 2010 there is no separate taxable service which covers these kind of services, so the same may not be subject to service tax.

16 August 2010 If the data is obtained by any commercial organisation for any purpose, then it may be taxable.


16 August 2010 The data is pertain to social welfare purpose but whether the organisation is doing any chartiy, or how the data is collected, from whom you are collecting fee, etc.? is importance here.based on the receipt of the same we can decided. whether your services are liable for ST or not.

17 August 2010 Thank u all!

Kindly tell me under which heading/ section we should apply.
