21 July 2016 Lots of units are availing area based excise exemptions like in Himachal, Uttaranchal & North East. They are exempted from Central Excise duty only not from Service Tax. They have to follow Service Tax. When you are not liable for Excise Duty what you will do after availing Service Tax credit because whatever service tax liability must be coming they must be under Reverse Charge / Declared services for which you have to pay liability in cash.
