Educational services up to higher secondary level are exempt from GST under Notification 12/2017-CT(R). Coaching for entrance exams (NEET, JEE, IAS, TNPSC) is taxable at 18%. Tuition centres with turnover above ₹20 lakh in services must register for GST.

Why this matters for tuition centres
Tuition and after-school coaching is one of India's fastest-growing service sectors — Tamil Nadu alone has 80,000+ registered tuition centres. Most operate as sole proprietorships or single-teacher entities, but those crossing ₹20 lakh annual receipts are GST-mandatory and benefit from formalising as an OPC or LLP. FilingLab handles the structure decision, GST-exempt service registration where applicable (educational services up to higher secondary are exempt under Notification 12/2017), Shop Act, and PAN-based ITR filing.

Section 80C allows parents to claim up to ₹1.5 lakh deduction for tuition fees paid to schools/colleges (not coaching centres). Coaching fees are not deductible — we clarify when filing parent ITRs.
