Service Tax on GSA Commissions Exempt Under Business Auxiliary Services: CESTAT Hyderabad Sets Precedent
CESTAT Hyderabad ruled that commissions received by air travel agents from General Sales Agents (GSAs) and their own branches are not taxable under Business Auxiliary Services (BAS). The decision quashes service tax demands and penalties, reinforcing that GSA commissions fall outside BAS purview, offering relief to travel agents and similar service providers.
