It is a Union levy, with a selective approach, whereby it is applicable to selected categories of services and not to all the services.The system of levy and collection of Excise Duties on goods is in existence since 1944 under Central Excise Act 1944. However, the concept of levy and collection of Service Tax on paid services was introduced in India for the first time in 1994 by the then Finance Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. It is a tax levied on the transaction of certain specified services by the Central Government under the Finance Act, 1994. It is an indirect tax, which means that normally the service provider pays the tax and recovers the amount from the recipient of taxable service.
