Service tax by employer

A Company provides transport facility to its employees between residence and work place at a concessional rate through buses owned by the company. Gross value recovered from employees in this regard during the year is Rs. 50 lacs. Whether a company has to pay service tax on this as a rent a cab operator service?

Dear Ankit As per mega exemption 25/2012-ST dated 20-06-2012 a contract catriage for transportation of passengers excluding tourism, conducted tour, charter or hire are exempt from service tax. Contract carriers means a motor vehicle which carriers passengers for hire or reward. It includes maxicabs and motor cars not charging separate fare from passengers.

Hi Ankit

 

Transporation service by employer to employee is a service as defined in service tax law. Further concessional rate recovered from the employees are the consideration for the service hence will liable for service tax. 

Further, this service is not covered by negetive list or megha exemption list hence it will be liable for service tax.

Dear Jay Kumar Ratan,

How this service can be treated as Contract Carriage? Is there any decided case law on this? I believe it's controversial.
