This query is : Resolved 

27 December 2016 Sir,
My client is an exporter and he is claiming refund of the service tax paid on input service under 41/2012- ST... Is he liable to file service tax return ????

27 December 2016 WHAT IS THE STATUS OF YOUR CLIENT
MANUFACTURER
TRADER
SERVICE PROVIDER ?

27 December 2016 Service Recipient....

25 July 2025 If your client is an **exporter and service recipient** claiming refund of Service Tax paid on input services under Notification 41/2012-ST, then:

* **Yes, your client is liable to file Service Tax returns (Form ST-3).**
* Filing returns is mandatory to claim any refund of Service Tax, including refunds on input services.
* Even if your client is not a service provider but a service recipient paying tax under **Reverse Charge Mechanism**, they must file returns and pay the tax.

**Summary:**

* Since your client pays Service Tax as a recipient (under reverse charge) and claims refund, they must file the Service Tax return regularly.
* Proper documentation and filing of returns help substantiate the refund claim.

If you want, I can guide you on the refund filing process or return filling steps.
