We are startup Software Company based in New Delhi. We are only into Software Exports.

Here are the questions we have

  • Are we supposed to pay service tax on software services (export)
    • Different people  have different views --  which is confusing.
    • Should we pay service tax and then claim for refund OR dont pay service tax at all ?
  • Regarding STPI registration. Its clear that atleast till 2009-10 corporate tax benefits can be availed.
    • Is their any STPI in Delhi Or we need to go with Noida / Gurgaon ?
    • What is the procedure, How much it costs , What are the formalites once we are registered with STPI. How long does it takes ?
    • Please contact us if you are professional dealing in STPI services.

Looking forward to some help from the community.

For export of software service you have the option not to pay service tax provided the manner in which you render the service qualifies as export. Also, you are entitled to claim rebate of the eligible input taxes paid on services and goods used for the provision of such export services.

Please elaborate   the exact nature of the services provided by you because different activities related software are classified  under different taxable services and any generalisation can lead to problem in future.
