29 November 2016 Providing coaching or tuition classes falls under taxable services. If you had provided such services exceeding rupees 9 lacs then you should apply for registration as soon as possible. Only if taxable service provided exceed Rs.10 lacs then only service tax liability will come into force. Service tax will be payable @14 percent along with SBC and Kristi Kalyan Cess.
