Hi,

We are a Service provider & has got Service Tax Regn No. The invoice amount is very low and the number of inovices will be very high. Whether we can sent the invoices in PDF Format to our clients by e-mail ? Whether this requires any registration with Service Tax Authorities ?

Thanks & Regards

The client has IE Code and wishes to import (from USA) readymade (off-the-shelf) software (this is not custom-made) which they will buy in non-physical form. The same software will be sold to clients in India "without adding any service whatsoever". Do they sill have to collect Service tax on this from the clients here, even though they will be collecting 4% VAT on it. If so, no customer would prefer to pay so much extra when the same software can be purchased directly from USA in 'download' form without attracting service tax, VAT, customs or any other duty. Business of importing readymade software and offering to local clients would make little sense in that case.

What are the conditions should be fulfilled to get the exemption from Service tax?
