Hello... I have a doubt as to whether companies located in MEPZ are suppose to pay service tax or not? Because i heard that they are suppose to pay a fixed percentage on their TO to govt.. Pls clarify

hello friends plz give me advice in the following situation:

As per Notification 18/2009 dated 7th July 2009, Exporter can claim exemption from service tax on
“Service to be provided to exporter for transport of the goods (to be exported) by road from place of removal to ICD, port or airport”
Provided that
- exporter informs AC/DC of Central Excise in prescribed form(EXP1) before availing the said exemption.

However one of my client has claimed deduction without intimating Excise deptt. of exemption.
My client argue that since they are eligible for refund of service tax on freight , they need not have to deposit.

so my question is:

i) whether service tax of previous months have to be deposited my client at the time of intimation to Deptt of availment of service tax.

Assessee Exports the services only which is exempt and he has some input credit also.. What the cenvat provision said is, one can claim credit only against taxable output services..Can assessee claim the refund of that input credit in cash under CCR??

Plz tell is there any notification???
