Big setback for coaching centres for entrance exams, AAR says they are liable to pay 18% GST
Under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, the tax is shared equally between the Centre and the states. Hence the total GST on the services provided by tuition or coaching classes for entrance examination would be liable to 18 per cent GST.
The GST law defines educational institutions as those imparting pre-school or education up to higher secondary level or those which are part of an approved vocational education course. Image source: Reuters
