There is a resort come amusement park. It charges a entry ticket fees and guests can enjoy facilities provided at resort like Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Games, dance shows etc. NO loding and liqour is provided. Whether this will be liable to service tax under Event Management Service or any other category. According to me it will not be as it is event as such and resort doesn't customize the facilities according to requirement of guests. Also schools organises picnics at resort. Same facilities are provided to students also. Only difference is instead of giving individual tickets, it bills in the name of school at discounted price.
Please guide me about the taxability of these issues under service tax. If any authority or case law can be qouted, it will be very much helpful. Thanks in advance for your controbution on the issue

According to the present law if a complex has less than 12 residential units then Service Tax is not applicable, therefore in this situation is it possible to collect an advance money before acquiring the CC Certificate.
In this case will Service Tax be levied if we collect advance money before acquiring CC Certificate for constructing a residential complex having less than 12 units.

At present, the rate of Service Tax is 10%, payable on the "gross value of taxable service". In addition to this, Education Cess is payable at the rate of 3% on the Service Tax amount.
As per Union Budget 2012-13, service tax rate increased to 12% from 10% w.e.f.01.04.2012.
Please let me know whether education cess @ 3% is applicable or not w.e.f.01.04.2012.
