No Service Tax to be levied on fitment and preparation of scalp to make Wig


Quick Summary
The Madras High Court has ruled that service tax cannot be levied on the incidental services involved in fitting a wig and preparing the scalp for it. The court determined that the primary component of the transaction is the sale of the wig itself, with the preparation and fitment services being secondary and aimed at facilitating the use of the product. Clients can purchase a wig without these additional services.
