09 October 2013 As per notification no.41/2012 the exporters can claim rebate of service tax paid. The 2 methods were either through ICES scheme or on the basis of documents. My client opted the ICES scheme. At the time of claiming the rebate the deptt. asked my client to first apply for the service tax registration. We got the registration no. and then applied for the rebate. Since then my client has been receiving the rebate refund accordingly and well in time.
My query is, whether my client is liable to file any service tax return since it is receiving the refund.
Or it should file NIL return(since it does not have any service income) as per the rule 7 of service tax rules,1994(it says since an assesee is registered the return is to be filed, even if it is a nil return.)

09 October 2013 As per Para 4.9 of the FAQs issued by DGST, 5th Edition, September, 2010, return filing is compulsory even if no taxable service is provided or no payment is received during a particular half year.
