6.1 Private bus operators, who operate buses on specific inter-state or intra-state routes, are required to pay service tax as they ply their buses having ‘contract carriage permits’ and thus fall within the definition of tour operators. On the other hand the State Undertakings run buses, which run on the same route carrying passengers, are not subjected to service tax as these buses bear ‘stage carriage permit’. In order to bring parity between the two, the services provided by the tour operators undertaking point-to-point transportation of passengers in a vehicle bearing contract carriage permit is being fully exempted from service tax, provided such transportation is not in relation to tourism or conducted tours, or charter or hire. (Notification No. 20/209-ST dated 07.07.09 refers).
