In the query various activities are specified for different purposes. Some of the activities are certainly taxable under different categories like designing services etc. However certain services shall be out of service tax net.

Since most of the servcies are in relation to printing, I am of the view that the same is exempted under not. 14/2005. However web site has now been speciifcally set out whch may require further examination and maybe liable.
