Firstly I think you question is not clear worded, I could not understand it properly. I have taken up your question suppossing that u are asking about when a travel agent will charge service tax.

As per your ques travel agent recieves commission from two places-

1 From the customer. He charges commission thru a bill & will also have to charge service tax of the commission amount.

2 He also rec comm from hotel- In this case he is not raising a bill so he cannot charge service tax.

I hope this resolves your query.
