We are shipbrokers who
act as an intermediary between the Ship and Cargo Owners

to finalize the terms and conditions of the movement of the goods from one
port to another. In lieu of the above services we get commissions

from the Ship Owners. Now we need some clarification of the service tax
component on the following scenarios:



1. Ship Owners and Charterers are foreign nationals and good move
outside the jurisdiction of india. We receive our commission in FCY from the
foreign owners.

2. Ship Owners and Charterers are foreign nationals and good move into
India. We receive our commission in FCY from the foreign owners.

3. Ship Owners are foreign national and Charterers are Indian. Goods
move from foreign to India. We receive our commission in FCY from the
foreign owners.

4. Ship Owners are foreign national and Charterers are Indian. Good
move from One Port to another port in India. We receive our commission in
FCY from the foreign owners.



Kindly advise in which of the above scenario service tax will be applicable.
kindly attach notification if possible

Hi,

We are an educational institution based in Bangalore
We are not registered under service tax as educational institutions are exempt under service tax
In April 2015 we hired a house keeping service company to take care of our house keeping and they were charging monthly bills including service tax
Later last month we found service tax need not be charged on certain services like house keeping if such services are rendered to an educational institution
Now based on this information we asked the house keeping service provider to refund back the service tax amount paid from April 2015 to Sept 2015
The company is saying they have already collected and paid the service tax on these bills so they cannot now get refund back from the Service tax department so they cannot give us back the money

So my question is there any way to get refund of the said service tax paid

Is there any notification or case laws to this effect

Please advice
