AI Summary

Service tax applicability for commercial coaching: taxable unless treated as a school; small-provider registration threshold may exempt liability. Commercial coaching and training centres are treated as a taxable service and subject to service tax unless they qualify as a school or educational institution; the recognition status of the institution affects that qualification. A small-provider registration and payment threshold operates to delay or exempt registration and tax payment until the threshold is exceeded, and experts in the forum endorse these positions.
