A multiplex primarily engaged in screening of movies and fun centre also has resort facilities. Members are enrolled and allowed to use the facilities such as rooms, swimming pool, indoor games, cricket ground etc. Is service tax is applicable only on the membership fees or on all the charges like room rent etc. (for which luxury tax is paid) Even for one time usage, temporary membership fee (for a day) is collected. Is service tax is payable on such temporary membership fee and charges paid by such temporary members for using the facilities?
