Swachh Bharat Cess is not leviable on services which are fully exempt from service tax or those covered under the negative list of services.

AI Summary

Swachh Bharat Cess exemption applies where services are fully exempt from service tax or fall on the negative list. Swachh Bharat Cess is not leviable on services that are fully exempt from service tax or that fall within the negative list of services; consequently, services provided to schools or other organisations that benefit from an express service tax exemption or negative-list classification are outside the cess levy.
