17 October 2013 If we receive an extra amount due to foreign exchange variation, then whether service tax is payable on that extra amount received on account of fluctuation ? Similarly, for amount short received due to foreifn exchange variation ??

18 October 2013 The query requires some more clarity.

Normally, when you receive money in Foreign Exchange it means that the amount is on account of export of goods or service tax which are totally exempted from ED or Service tax.If so, in my opinion, fluctuation also must be exempted.
