Dear Bharat,

Term agronomy has not been used in service tax law. however, general meaning of term agronomy is very similar to agricultural extension services. your services shall be non taxable being covered under negtative list entry 66DF(d)(iv).

Dear Bharat bhai,

Yes sir, your service appears to be exempted under section 66 (D) (d) (vi) of the negative list.

AI Summary

Negative list exclusion for agronomy consultancy likely exempts such agricultural advisory services from service tax. Agronomy consultancy is not defined in service tax law but corresponds to agricultural extension services and, therefore, should be treated as a non taxable service under the statutory negative list exclusion when provided in connection with agriculture.
