2015 (2) TMI 933 - AT - Service TaxSale of space of advertisement services - Advertisement in publication KALDARSHIKA - Covered in definition of Book or a business directory, yellow page etc. - Held that:- As against the factual finding as recorded by the first appellate authority, we find hat the revenue has not brought any material which is contrary to the facts as recorded by the first appellate authority. Be that as it may, we find that definition of ‘Sale of space for advertisement' as relied by the Departmental Representative falling under Section 65(105)(zzzm) would not cover the product published by the appellant, as the said publication cannot be considered a calendar, but an Almanac, which gives reader a host of information in respect of religions, cultural and historical events, as also the panchang. We agree with the first appellate authority that the appellant's product KALDARSHIKA cannot be termed as a business directory, yellow pages or trade catalogue; hence it is to be held as ‘book' to be covered under the explanation (2) to the definition of the ‘Sale of Space for advertisement'. - Decided against the revenue.
