History of Service tax • Dr. Raja Chelliah Committee on tax reforms recommended the introduction of service tax. The tax collections have grown substantially since 1994-95 i.e. from ₹407 crore in 1994-95 to ₹1,68,132 crore in 2014-15. The total number of Taxable services also increased from 3 (Telephone, Stock Broker & General Insurance) in 1994 to 119 in 2012. However, from 1 July 2012 the concept of taxation on services was changed from a ‘Selected service approach’ to a ‘Negative List regime’. This changed the taxation system of services from tax on some Selected services to tax being
levied on the every service other than services mentioned in Negative list.
