AI Summary

Service tax on commercial education may apply to fee income unless certificates are awarded by a recognized university.
Commercial education services are generally subject to service tax and should be classified under Commercial coaching and training service when not within exclusion categories. Bifurcation of fees into tuition (taxable) and material/examination charges (potentially non-service) depends on the true nature of the supply. If course certificates are finally awarded by a recognized university, those courses are treated outside the service tax levy.
