The service tax, a long-time corner stone of India's governmental revenue system, has been phasing out of implementation in the 21st century. The Finance Minister of India has said that it is a short-term goal of the Indian government to eventually merge the service tax into the country's general goods and service tax. The service tax aims to rake in government revenues by taxing all services provided within the country. It is India's Central Board of Excise and Customs that is in charge of administering the tax and overseeing it's implementation. If the surcharge is eventually merged fully with other goods and services taxes, the administering authority could change.
no service tax is not a direct tax. b'coz direct tax is directly imposed on person and it can't be transfered on the other person. Service tax is levied on service provided and it is levied and collected from clients. so service tax is an Indirect Tax.
the tax imposed on the service providers by the govt. is called service tax
If you do not want to pay service tax, then you should not obtain services that have a service tax. Service tax is a tax on certain services. The amount of services is increasing.
