regarding the service tax on tour operators I have the following to suggest
1. The product can be so called service product
2. It has two components namely 'Visible and 'non-visible'
3. The visible products like, hotel charges, VISA/airtravel charges, charges for tour guides etc. . Service tax or any other tax would have already been accounted for by the provider while working out the package cost.
4. Invisible products are like providing services to coordinate and arrange amenities with hotels, air travel, etc. This invisible product only need to be service taxed.
5. Service providers should not calculate the service tax on the total package cost as they are doing now.
6. There is an urgent need to review the service tax modalities and take decision on transparency in this regard before the budget is announced more

The Service tax net was made to cover anything that the FM could conceive . It was done by Mr. Chidambaram and he very conveniently left out Advocates from it's purview since he belonged to that category. I do not think it is possible to think of life without Service Tax and one hopes that while implementing GST the government will give due consideration to the taxes bring paid by the common man on a daily basis. more

Unable to understand the benefits of service tax, compared to any other tax, the citizens are benefited by one way or the other, what way the service tax is benefitted for us? Even to take a mean in a hotel, we are supposed to pay tax, if AC hotel, tax for the AC is even applicable. We are paying majority of our income towards tax, but receive nothing return, say drinking water, motorable roads, breathing air, law and order in the society, ease in traffic, good environments everywhere to have a better life, civic amenities.....then what is the point of this heavy taxing? We could only see, such hard earned money is going to the politicians pocket by different ways, and the corrupt government officials! Am pained to this Indian taxing pattern! more
