Sir, I m in export firm that is partnership firm. Cud u suggest me that service tax on transport bill should be deposit by us or transporter. And what is beneficial for us.Is Services tax refundable for exporters (in case service tax paid by exporter or transporter).
Complete exemption of input services/refund of input service tax to exporters has been proposed by Ministry of Commerce. Since huge revenue loss will be there Ministry of Finance has not yet notified the same.
Being specified person (a partnership firm) as per Rule 2 (1) (d) (v) of Service tax Rules 1994 and Notfn No 36/2004 dated 31.12.2004 your firm has to pay service tax on GTA services @ 3.09% at present.
