Doctor's service is not liable to service tax. Howver, services like plastic/cosmetic surgry is taxable. Levy is on the hospital providing such service.

The proposal in the finance bill for tax on Medical Services has been dropped.

The view of Mr. Unnikrishnan is correct.

Doctors, and indeed all health care services by a clinical establishment or an authorised practitioner in a recognised system of medicine, are exempted from service tax under serial number (2) of notification 25/2012-ST.
