Musical Event Service Tax

[george thomas]

Dear Sir

We are conducting a musical entertainment event to promote our brand and appoint one party for selling Ticket by paying commission. In this regard we want to know any service tax liability is there for us for the amount collected from Ticket Sales. Please help

AI Summary

Admission to entertainment events: exemption applies where ticket price is below specified threshold; ticket-selling agent's service remains taxable.
Admission to a musical event is a service of the organiser to ticket-holders and is taxable if the place of provision is within the taxable territory unless a specified ticket-price exemption applies; the appointed ticket-seller on commission supplies a separate ancillary/service (agent) which is taxable and whose liability ordinarily rests on the provider. Place of provision is the location of the event; if outside the taxable territory no tax arises. Reverse charge is applicable only as explicitly provided by notification and does not generally make the organiser liable for commissioned ticket-sale services.
