In my opinion.... if the transaction is not been done...
then gst is also refundable along with ticket charge.

if any deduction is made... then gst on that part will not be refunded.

Concept of cancellation can be linked to liquidated damages. Cancellation is in line with compensation and is not a charge against a supply. Therefore, ideally GST should not be charged on the same. Although, as the tax position is unclear, taxpayers are presently charging GST on the same.
