AI Summary

Legal person status determines service tax liability for societies; liability depends on the nature and motive of services under law.
A registered society is recognised among legal persons, but service tax liability depends on the nature of services rendered and the motive behind them; commercial character or economic motive in services attracts service tax, whereas non commercial charitable or religious services do not.
