25 May 2021 Raman Sir Good Morning
Actually my problem is related with service tax. Service tax was recovered and paid. A local job worker used to do some job work for exported oriented units ( Export Oriented Units were related with Agricultural Products). The job worker has received a notice from service tax department asking therein to pay service tax. Now the question arises whether any job work for export promotions was exempted from service tax ?
