URGENT !!!!!

As per the notification No. 1709 & 1809 Dated : 7.7.09, we decided to get the Exemption on the taxable service of
01. GTA for place of removal to port of export.02. Commission agent located out side India.
And we also filed the form EXP1 & it approved.

Now my query is as the Notification is dated 7.7.09, can we get the exemption on the Bills before 7.7.09??? please clear with the terms.
And are in process to file EXP2, in this case it is very clear that Exporter has to file the self attested copy of Shipping Bill. But is it necessary to attach the copy of Invoice & Bill of Lading / FCR / AWB as it not mentioned in Notification.

We are a trading company providing business auxilary services also.
We purchased MS office License on which Service tax was paid.
Can we take the input credit on service tax paid for capital assets, If yes please also give logic.

Hi,
Kindly let me know, when a service provider charges service tax on bill amount, the person paying should deduct TDS on total bill amount ( Basic + service tax) or on bill amount excluding service tax.

Your reply would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Basic History:
As per Notification 15/2009 ST dated 20 may 2009,if services are used for the authorized operations of SEZ then there are 2 different ways to handle:

1. If Services are CONSUMED OUTSIDE SEZ but for the authorized operations of SEZ then SEZ unit will get exemption through Refund route.

2. If Services are CONSUMED WITHIN SEZ and for the authorized operations of SEZ then SEZ unit is unconditionally exempt. No party will charge Service tax on bills.

My question is what is the definition of consumption of services? what will be the place of consumption?
For example, if transporter loads the material from mumbai & unloads in Noida SEZ, whether Services are consumed within SEZ or Outside SEZ?

Can someone help me out please?
We are unit located in SEZ and dealing with these problems daily..........
