27 December 2013 If a Parent Manufacturer gives incentives to dealers on sales scheme will it attract service tax or not

27 December 2013 Incentives given here may be of two types - (1) In the nature of reward
(2) In the nature of discount

Section 65B (44) provides that service means any activity carried on by a person for another for a consideration. In case if this incentive is treated as reward - there was no consideration when the activity was undertaken and hence no service as per Service Tax Act and consequntly no service tax.

However if we treated as discount, it would become normal trading activity and trading is in negative list - section 66D (e).

So either way incentive does not attract service tax.
