Cancellation of package tour.

cancellation charges should not be liable to s.tax because no service has been provided. if the guest had paid advance amount inclusive of s.tax, then adjust cancellation charges from such amt. and refund balance to the customer.
now if the s.tax collected in advance amt. has been deposited to govt. a/c then adjust the excess s.tax paid in the following month.

Cancellation Charges fall within the ambit of Section 66E (e) of Finance Act, 1994 i.e. Agreeing to the obligation to refrain from an act, or to tolerate an act or a situation or to do an act, these charges will attract Service Tax.

 

Thanks for your reply.

However, i have laready paid service tax at the time of advance receipts and out of the advance receipt, i am forfieting some amount, so am i liable to pay service tax at the time of cancellation?

 

If yes, what is rate of service tax, is it after appying abatement or full rate i.e. 14.5%.
