Imported marketing services received from abroad were held taxable under reverse charge where the appellant had already admitted the commission-based service tax liability and paid tax with interest before notice, so that demand was sustained. Separate bonus payments under a share purchase agreement were treated as consideration for continued marketing and business promotion services, not as part of the share purchase price, because they were contingent on managerial performance and turnover conditions; that demand was also upheld as Business Auxiliary Service.
