<h1>Public authorities' statutory function fees exempt from service tax; non-statutory services may incur tax if deemed taxable.</h1> The circular clarifies that fees collected by public authorities while performing statutory functions under the law are not subject to service tax. These activities are considered statutory obligations, and the fees are compulsory levies deposited into the government treasury, not services rendered to individuals for consideration. Therefore, no service tax applies to such activities. However, if a public authority performs non-statutory services for consideration, service tax may be applicable if the activity qualifies as a taxable service. Authorities are advised to follow these guidelines accordingly.
