09 December 2013 Dear Sir

We are an advocate firm providing taxable services to its Indian as well as Foreign clients.

As we know services rendered to foreign clients are not taxable under Export of Service Rules, 2005 but the same had been paid by mistake by us.

My query is can we utilize the CENVAT credit on input services provided to such foreign clients or not or do we have to take the refund of the same

Please help

09 December 2013 the ans is no...when it was not ur liability as per law to pay service tax then law bars for service tax credit wrongly paid on exempted service.
it is advisable to go for refund route.
