DEAR ANIL KUMAR

 

DISCOUNT IS CONSIDERED AS COMMISSION

 

AS SERVICE IS RENDERED TO CUSTOMER

Notification No. 022/97 - ST - dated - 26-06-1997

Exemption to air travel agents excess than commission received from airlines

sub-agent who is geting higher discount from IATA agent and passing lesser discount to customer. whether this commission is taxable or not ?

 

to answer above Q plz. consider following point:-

1- it is consider as trading of air tickets, so NOT liable for service tax but liable for VAT.

or

2- it is consider under BAS like commission on sales permotion,

or

3- as it is specific classification under which sub-agent is not taxable, then the same shall not be taxable under business auxiliary service
