Appellant's Commission for Booking Goods Considered Taxable Business Auxiliary Service

The appellant's argument that the service provided did not constitute "Business Auxiliary Service" was rejected after examining the agreement and show cause notice. It was found that the appellant received a commission for booking goods for a transport company, with the agreement prohibiting similar activities for other companies. The commission linked to transport charges indicated assistance in marketing the transport company's services, leading to the conclusion that taxable Business Auxiliary Service was provided. As a result, the appeal was dismissed.
