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 have received letter from Service Tax Dept. towards CAA, and submit the details of computer hardware and software to fill in attached "Survey of Computer Installation and Accounting System used by the Assessee" and "CAA Assistance Forms". The information asking through this form, lot of information for computer and accounting system.

But, we have only Building Rental income only. There is no other business for this Service. We have only a small computer and tally accounting package only.

What can we produce the data, is it compulsory. Please give clarification.
