Sir,

Sub:refund of service tax - relevant date for claiming of refund of service tax

One of my client exporting services out of India therefore, he is exempted from payment of service tax. But our client is availing input services, on input services he is paying service tax, accordingly he is eligible to claim as refund of service tax which he has paid on input services.

According to service tax rules, section 83 of the finance act,1995 specified that for claiming of service tax as refund as applicable section 11B of central excise act,1944.
As per section 11B, the application for refund shall be submitted within one year from the relevant date.
But, in recent notification No.33/2008-ST, dated 07.12.2008, clarified that the period of time limit for claiming of refund from 60 days to 6 months and from the end of quarter for which claim pertains. and date will be calculated from the date of exports.

Please give me a clarification on the aforesaid section and nofication that whether relevant date is one year or 6 months.

kindly send us your clarification as soon as possible.

Thanking you,

S.Srinivasulu.

This is to ask that, international cargo and courier company, are getting exempt from service tax upto my knowledge. I have come to know that any service which is provided on airport to airport basis..on a internationational front it doesnt come under purview of service tax. But this is never mentioned anywhere. Morever the service is in the nature of sort of clearing and forwarding international courier and cargo. Please clarify. Thanks in advance.

One of my client is an architect. she is working on a sub-contract basis with another architect. that is the only work she does. does my client has to charge service tax on her billings, as the main architect is already charging service tax to their cleint? i think there is some exemption for sub-contracts to architects.
