Dear Experts,


We are a manufacturer. We export our material to various countries. We pay our foreign agents commission on these export orders. We declare these commission in the shipping bill while exporting our material. As per new amendments service tax on commission paid to such foreign agents have been exempted w.e.f. 01.04.15?


Kindly advice.

Please note we are not a E.O.U. unit.

If my main business does not generate any revenue but my other income (leasing of vehicles & providing labour) generates revenue above Rs.10 Lacs, whether I am liable for Service Tax? Please reply as soon as possible. Thanks...
