"YOU are not eligible to charge service tax neither company should deduct any Tax at source on your income because you will visiting faculty in that company and you are receiving salary as an honorarium so no need to charge any service tax "

The Service Tax is not applicable on visiting lectures in educational institution under commercial training service.

I understand that institutes offering vocational training ONLY are exempt. from ST..If this is a commercial training institute training professionals who are already employed then is ST applcable to the visiting lecturer? If someone clarifies thia aspect I will appreciate it. Thanks.

In income tax it is taxable, but generally such income is not termed as "SALARY" because no employer & employee relationship subsists, such income is received by you as Honorarium so taxable under "other sources".
If you are giving lectures on such technical & professional services then check out whether that service is taxable under service tax, then u wil b eligible to service tax.

This commercial instution charges ST to its participants..does it automatically mean I as a visiting lecturer should charge ST to them? Thanks.
