We are in helicopter chartering business and pay service tax @10.3% under category" Air transport of passengers". Recently we have provided our services in kedarnath for the very first time. We received payments on ticketing basis. One ticket includes Rs. 6900/-(fare) + Rs. 103/- (S.Tax under category "Air Travel Agents" (i.e. S.Tax @10.3% or Rs. 103/- per ticket whichever is less). Total amount per ticket was Rs. 7003/-. Now kindly guide me about the payment of service tax. Should I pay the service tax together (10.3% (service tax payable on regular business) + (Rs.103/- (kedarnath operations))? Is there any other procedure to pay this Rs. 103/- wala service tax? Do I need to register my company again with service tax dept for the service tax payable under category "air travel agent" (the Rs. 103/- wala service tax) or I do have to follow any other procedure to add this category (air travel agent)in our services registered with ST Dept? Waiting for the soonest reply. Best regards Preeti

you can pay the entire amount under the same head of Transport of passengers by air service. The separate category of services would come only if your providng air travel agency service also.

I think...You will just have to obtain a new revised certificate from the department mentioning therein all the services provided by you still can hv sm more opinions

Since the same is a different activity, in my view registration separately and then claiming the abatements if any could be the option for you.
