It would be ridiculous to cover all servcies under BSS. The servcies you have envisaged do not appear to be covered under any heading. BAS servcies in realtion to printing are exempt under 14/2004 ( this may not exactly apply to your query but other activties done maybe covered)

AI Summary

Business Support Services classification: editing, pre media and content management for publishers are not necessarily covered under BSS.
The query asks if editing, pre media, prepublishing and content management services for a book publisher are encompassed by Business Support Services for service tax. Respondents advise against a blanket inclusion of all unenumerated services in BSS, conclude the specified editorial and content services do not plainly fit BSS headings, and note that although some printing related support services enjoy exemptions, those exemptions may not directly apply to the editorial and content activities described.
