Cellular Roaming Services availed in J&K - whether taxable?
SOON after we published in yesterday's DDT 2247 the following - Winter package tour to Srinagar - ST liability and sought a response, we received a mail from another netizen enquiring as to whether he would be charged Service Tax on the roaming charges by the cell phone service provider if he goes on the winter package tour to Srinagar. His understanding is that since wherever he goes the network follows, both he and the service provider are located in the non-taxable territory and, therefore, no service tax is leviable or for that matter payable.
DDT would like to have a response from netizens.
