1st April, 2015
Clarification- No change in rate of Service Tax
Finance bill, 2015 has proposed to increase effective rate of Service Tax from 12.36% to 14%. It is wrongly reported in some quarters that the effective date of change in rate of Service Tax is 1st April, 2015. It is hereby clarified that the change in the rate of Service Tax will be effective from the date to be notified after enactment of Finance Bill, 2015.
In this regard relevant portion of D.O.F. No.334/5/2015-TRU dated 28th February 2015 is produced below:
“3.3 The Service Tax rate shall come into effect from a date to be notified by the Central Government after the enactment of the Finance Bill, 2015”.
Hence, it is worthwhile to mention that there is no change in the rate of Service Tax w.e.f. 1st April 2015.

Respected Sir
Query: Can you please clarify about education courses accredited by NABET( National Accreditation Board for Education & Training),QCI.
Does NABET accredited course fall under ” a course recognised by any law” ?
As per circular 164/15/2012 from TRU”- The words ” recognized by any law” will include such courses as are approved or recognized by any entity established under a central or state law including delegated legislation, for the purpose of granting recognition to any education course or VEC.
Note : NABET is the constituent Board of Quality Council Of India, the accreditation authority in India. NABET formally recognizes the Vocational training providers and also the courses.
It would be of great help if this query is answered.
Kind Regards

Sir,
Please clarify from when 14% ST is charged.
Whenever there is a change in any Tax, Duty, or Cess, the Govt.should clarify its date of effect and should not leave it to the public to guess the date of effect like present Service Tax situation.
It is normal for any proposals made in the budget to get notified only after The Bill passing and get getezzted. Hence, till the finance bill is passed the rates hold good, I.e. will not get changed.
On enactment there will be no cess. Hence if there is a time gap between enactment and notification people could enjoy reduced service tax @ 12%
