29 May 2013 Whether Service Tax applicable on Demurage?
Example:
We import some material and Lay time given in contract to unload the Ship with in 5 day(Say in Paradip Port).if we unload the material from Ship with in 4 days then exporter give us 1 day Demurage (Despatch Earning) in USD on the basis of our Debit Note.
Question: Whether we charge Service Tax in Debit note which raise to Exporter? If so in which Service Tax Rull?

29 May 2013 service tax is not applicable if you are claiming these demurrage charges seperate invoice/debitnote


Generally in these cases c&f agent will give bills two type

one seperate bill for agency charges
and one bill for re-imbursemnet of expences incurred which includes demurrage charges also

if c& f agent provide seperate bill for re-imbursement expences no servicetax is required
