A company is undertaking software development activities solely for a foreign company and it is considered as export of service under Export of Service Rules. The company is paying service tax on various input services like professional charges, rent on premises used for software development, audit fees,telephone expenses, etc.

Can this company claim refund of the service tax paid on all such inputs and if so what procedure to be followed.


Sudhindra S

Hi,

I just started a trading organization representing foreign suppliers in India. The sale happens directly between the Indian buyer and the foreign supplier. Since, we facilitate the transaction we get agency commission on each sale. This commission is directly transferred from our foreign supplier to our Bank Account.

We want to know whether there is any service tax applicable for such agency commissions??

Please note, our foreign supplier transfer payment in terms of % of the sale value and hence we cannot charge any service tax to them.

Kindly clarify?

Service Tax for EOU

Dear Experts,

We are 100% EOU and hence we do not charge any Service Tax for services provided to our clients abroad.

However, we end paying huge ST to our vendors, professionals etc.

Can I claim any refund of these ST paid or I have just treat this as an expense in my books.

In future, we will be having revenues from Domestic services and in that case we will be charging ST for these clients.
Hence, I believe we will be able to set off ST paid and recd later.

Kindly clarify on the above matter and also my thinking abt the future set off.

Rgds.
