The tribunal held that the appellant cinema operator did not provide any service to film distributors under their revenue-sharing agreement. The arrangement constituted a transfer of copyright/theatrical exhibition rights from distributors to the cinema operator, with distributors receiving a share of ticket revenue within 10 days of each week. The tribunal emphasized that revenue-sharing arrangements alone do not establish a service provider-recipient relationship unless specifically proven. Relying on precedent, the tribunal upheld the lower authority's findings that no taxable service was provided. en-us Tue, 16 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 16 Apr 2024 15:50:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=751498 The CESTAT New Delhi dismissed the Revenue's appeal regarding classification of cinema exhibition services.
