Could you please clarify me on the below:
If a software has been imported on-line whether service tax is apllicable on that. If exporter doesn't charge Service tax, is it the responsibility of Importer to pay Service tax.

Question is whether the same is goods or service. In my view it is goods not liable for ST.
