Am i eligible for service tax refund ?

The Service Tax Is Added To The Invoice Received From Google India Pvt Limited And The Entire Amount Is Paid To Google India Pvt Limited.

So now the question is "How can such refund be obtained" if of course i am entitled to refund?

The service of google is input service for your export activities. You can take cenvat credit and claim refund under Rule 5of CCR.

Refund under Indirect taxation is a cumbersome exercise. Unless your refund is substnatially high, do not bother. There are basically obstancles to be surmounted as under:

1. Application maybe rejected at first count

2. Next application - SCN would be issued as to why it should notbe rejected

3. In the adjudication- officer will agree orally - order will be against

4. In appeal youmay win.

5. Dept will go in appeal against the same.

The revenue has been grinding the pateiacne ofthe manufacturers/ service providers in this manner for quite some time now.

After such discouragment let me also state that miraculously out of turn refunds are being obtained. Also if amounts are alrge then there maybe no choice but tomake a refund claim. In due course it would I beleive result in money.

Yes you can claim for ST refund... charged by google india.
