AI Summary

Service Tax on Musical Event: Ticket Seller Liable Under Business Auxiliary Service, Not Organizer, Unless Exemptions Apply. A forum discussion involves a query about the service tax liability for a musical entertainment event organized to promote a brand. The organizer appointed a third party to sell tickets on commission. Responses indicate that the service falls under the category of 'Services of Promotion or Marketing of Brand of Goods/Services,' and the ticket seller is considered under Business Auxiliary Service. The consensus is that service tax is payable by the ticket seller, not the organizer, unless the event occurs outside the taxable territory or ticket prices are below a certain threshold, exempting them from tax.
