Dear Club Members,

Please help me understand one issue, Do Software Export Firms (100% EOU Registered with Software Technology Parks India) need to pay any excise duty ever?

I researched at some forums related to STPI, some say 10 year Tax break was upto Year 2009 only. any registered unit after that will have to pay excise duty. some forums suggest that from the date we register with STPI we get 5 Year Tax holiday.

I need to know what are the options available under STPI scheme in Punjab.

Thanks,

Gurinder Singh

export is exempted from excise, but STPI or SEZ has control of customs and excise more than normal limits for their bonded area and duty free imports usage.

so please put your query in more details,
