Outbound tour services conducted wholly outside India were held not liable to service tax under the tour operator service levy because Chapter V of the Finance Act operated only within its territorial scope. On a harmonious reading of sections 64, 65 and 66, journeys that began and ended outside India, and were consumed abroad, fell outside the taxable service definition.
