Despatch money received under FOB export contracts for completing cargo loading before stipulated laytime was treated as a contractual incentive or commercial adjustment, not consideration for port services. Taxable value requires a direct nexus between an amount and a service rendered to another person.

The related service-tax demands were set aside, and consequential interest and penalties could not survive.
