Debate on Taxability of Car Sales Incentives: Business Auxiliary Services vs. Discount Argument Under Negative List Regime. A client receives various sales incentives related to car sales, such as target incentives and cashback schemes, and seeks advice on their taxability under the Negative List regime. One response asserts these incentives are taxable under Business Auxiliary Services (BAS). Another highlights that the taxability is contentious, citing tribunal decisions where such incentives were excluded from service tax. A third response argues that incentives are discounts and should not be taxed, referencing several case laws supporting this view. The discussion reflects differing interpretations and highlights the complexity of tax treatment for sales incentives. (AI Summary)
