Following is the definition included under section 66E
Site Development of software, Development, design, programming, customization, adaptation, up gradation, enhancement, implementation of information technology software has been included as a information technology software.
Therefore customised software import are called to be import of service. Whereas It is a settled position of law that pre-packaged or canned software which is put on a media is in the nature of goods [Supreme Court judgment in case of Tata Consultancy Services vs State of Andhra Pradesh [2002(178) ELT 22(SC) refers]. Sale of pre-packaged or canned software is, therefore, in the nature of sale of goods and is not covered in this entry.
Thus no service tax on pre pacakage software.
