[pankaj Kannaujiya]

Iam a student of CWA,  and owner of our family business of laundry service,I know that DRYCLEAN SERVICE is a taxable service but we provide only laundry service including Iron of clotheswe contract in hotels & restaurant and another places, so turnover is more than 8 lacs in every year,

please tell me that IS LAUNDRY SERVICE COVERED UNDER TAXABLE SERVICE IN SERVICE TAX ACT,

AI Summary

Dry cleaning service: washing with water and ironing generally fall outside service tax coverage; registration depends on turnover.
The statutory definition confines taxable dry cleaning service to cleaning by solvent rather than water, so routine washing with water and ironing are not covered; registration and tax liability arise only if annual turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold for service providers.
