Our company is importing technical know-how from Germany. 1. Do the company need to pay R&D Cess @ 5% on import of technical know-how? Are there any exemptions from this levy? 2. As per my understanding Cenvat credit of Service tax paid (@ 5.30%) can be taken. But is it anyway possible to take Cenvat credit / Refund of the R & D Cess paid? Please provide procedure to claim the same.
