If the activity is neither related to advertisement service or sale of space, then the commission received from sale of space in the print media will be taxable under "Business Auxiliary services".

He is liable under advertisment agent. He could also be catgeorised under Busienss Auxliary service since he is only earning a commision as a commision agent. In my view the first category is more specific therefore appropriate. If ion 1st then only on commision. If in second there maybe no ST as he is merely a service reseller.
