2 zzb) Service provided by a commission agent located outside India and engaged under a contract or agreement or any other document by the exporter in India, to act on behalf of the exporter, to cause sale of goods exported by him.

The exemption shall be limited to one per cent of the free on board value of export goods for which the said service hasbeen used.

The above notification is not clear to interprete, say when 3% commission is paid, whether we can claim exemption on 1% and pay service tax on balance 2% .

As per language if you are paying the commission upto 1% of FOB is exempt from the service tax above this rate is to be diposited and can claim for refund.
