<h1>Tobacco Board Must Pay Service Tax on Auctioneer Services, No Exemption for Fees Retained by Corporate Entity.</h1> The memorandum addresses the applicability of service tax on the Tobacco Board for auctioneer services. It clarifies that service tax applies to services related to auctioning property unless provided to the government. The Tobacco Board conducts tobacco auctions and charges fees, which are discretionary and not deposited into the government's consolidated fund. As the Board is a corporate entity and retains the fees, it does not qualify for exemption under earlier circulars. The Ministry had previously examined and denied exemption requests, instructing the Tobacco Board to pay service tax for its auctioneer services.
