Service Tax on Software Development Companies
This query is : Resolved

I had a doubt regarding Service Tax on Software Development Companies.
I am currently doing an audit of a Software Development company who are not paying any Service Tax on the grounds that it is not applicable to them. Is their view correct?
I was under the impresion that Service Tax is applicable even to Software Development Companies as well!
Kindly Help

1.Being a "INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICE" ONLY DEVELOPMENT OF SOFWARE IS EXCLUDED FROM SERVICE TAX.
2.It doesnt mean that the software development co. is exempted from ALL serive tax.
3.Many services like , accounting,payroll,online data access, BPO,istallation and commissioning of software is covered under service tax.
4.Please check whether that company is charging VAT or WORK CONTRACT TAX on software development
5. Service tax is applicable on maintenace and repair of software
