Service Tax @ 12.36% on billed raised in the name of customers otherthan tours & travels co. which acquires vehicles for giving service to others. It should be levied on actual service charges. No Service Tax will be levied on bill raised in the name of customers of tours & travels co. which acquires vehicles for giving service to others. Thanks.
