There will be no levy of Service tax on Schools & Colleges. There is a category called 'Commercial Coaching & Training service' in service tax. In this category, coaching instituions like private coaching center, computer centres like Jetking, NIIT, spoken english are covered. But, for schools & colleges, there will no levy.
So, please see the bill / receipt given by the college and check on what service, service tax is charged? Also enquire college for on whcih category they were registered?
