Bus Operators: Service Tax Registration & Abatement Eligibility for Transportation Services Under 'Rent a Cab' and 'Tour Operator' A bus operator inquired about service tax registration and abatement eligibility when providing buses directly to companies or through contractors. An advisor recommended registering under 'Rent a Cab' services, allowing a 60% abatement if CENVAT credit wasn't used. The inquirer had registered under 'Tour Operator' and sought clarification on whether to maintain this classification and its abatement eligibility. The advisor confirmed the classification could remain if undisputed by the Department and abatement was available under specific conditions. The exchange focused on understanding service tax obligations and potential abatements for transportation services. (AI Summary)
