65A. Classification of taxable services
(1) For the purposes of this chapter, classification of taxable services shall be determined according to
the terms of the sub-clauses (105) of section 65;
(2) When for any reason , a taxable service is prima facie, classifiable under two or more sub-clauses of clause (105) of section 65, classification
shall be effected as follows :-
(a) the sub-clause which provides the most specific description shall be preferred to sub-clauses providing a more general description;
(b) composite services consisting of a combination of different services which cannot be classified in the manner specified in clause (a), shall
be classified as if they consisted of a service which gives them their essential character, in so far as this criterion is applicable;
(c) when a service cannot be classified in the manner specified in clause (a) or clause (b), it shall be classified under the sub-clause which
occurs first among the sub-clauses which equally merits consideration;
(3) The provisions of this section shall not apply with effect from such date as the Central Government may, by notification, appoint. |
