Whether Services received from outside India for export of services is liable to service tax? These services are provided by non resident and services are received in foreign country but payment is made from India.is it liable to servivce tax u/s 66-A? Intention of section 66A seems only to tax services received in India.
As in our case services are provided from outside India and received outside India but payment is made from India are we liable to service tax?

sir, i want to ask that.
if a company has paid service tax in last year arond Rs. 50 lakhs or more.
can it claim Rs. 10 lakhs exemption while paying service tax this year?

there are two panelty provisions for the late payment of service tax,
one is: 13% interest for the delayed period
IInd is: Rs. 200 per day or
2% of the service tax per month
(which ever is higher but not exceeding the amount of service tax paid)


my question is both the panelties are simultanously leviable or mutually exclusive.

thanks in advance.
