16 July 2012 a tv channel (a pvt.ltd.company) and a hotel (3 star hotel and a pvt.ltd. company) entered into a barter for exchange of advertising slots and hotel rooms, both for rs. 5 lakh each.

what are :-
1. accounting treatment
2. income tax & TDs
3. service tax effects.

my points of counter argument for thought
1. accounting can be ignored as its not a financial transaction (its a barter)

2. income tax/tds - not required as there is no payment at all. (194C applies only to payment)

3. service tax if considered, hotel will loose as input credit is restricted only to 60% (i.e. output liability).

irrespective of tax loss if any, please tell accounting and tax effect as per rules.

awaiting some reply,
