The Central Board of Excise and Customs issued a comprehensive clarification on the levy of service tax on services provided by the government or a local authority to a business entity. It also includes detailed examples to illustrate computation of service tax in situations when the service rendered is chargeable to tax.

Services provided by the government or a local authority to business entities with a turnover of over Rs. 10 lakh have become taxable effective 1 April 2016, though services such as grant of passport, visa, driving licence and other certificates are exempt.
