[satbir singh wahi]

commission is received from Omax Ltd ( brand name) .so basic exemption not available.Registration under service tax taken . But during 2013-14 the commission receipts are ₹ 560500( non brand from sale/purchase of land.) only . During 2014-15 Rs 220000 cpmmission from Omax Ltd (Brand Name) and commission from non brand name from sale/purchase of land ₹ 450500.

1. Whether service tax on only ₹ 220000 to be deposited.

2. whether 450500 will be exempt.

Sir,

The amount paid to the brand owner, that is, in your case Omax limited alone is covered by Intellectual Property Right Service (IPR Service). Therefore you are liable to pay service tax only on ₹ 2,20,000/-. since ₹ 4,50,000/- is commission paid in respect of non-brand name. it is not chargeable to service tax under IPR Service. However in respect of ₹ 4,50,000/- the service provider may be required to pay service tax on commission agent service.
