Service tax on Works contract service provided to Educational Institution


  • Contents

With due consideration to notification no.25/2012-Service Tax dated 20.6.2012 “Services provided to an educational institution in respect of education exempted from service tax, by way of,-(a) auxiliary educational services; or(b) renting of immovable property;" Further, the term auxiliary educational services defined in the said notification as "any services relating to imparting any skill, knowledge, education or development of course content or any other knowledge-enhancement activity, whether for the students or the faculty, or any other services which educational institutions ordinarily carry out themselves but may obtain as outsourced services from any other person, including services relating to admission to such institution, conduct of examination, catering for the students under any mid-day meals scheme sponsored by Govt., or transportation of students, faculty or staff of such institution’"

So there was no exemption for work contract service provided to educational institutions from service tax?

please advise.

we have provided work contract service to college of engineering which is autonomous engineering institute affiliated to Pune University.

Now my confusion is as its an autonomous engineering institute, we can't say its controlled by state government?

2ndly, though work contract services provided to education institutes are not exempted from service tax but if the same is controlled by state/central government, service tax applicable?

please advise.

No exemption available. We have to take care of different notifications issued from time to time. Now no Exemption is available.
