Online purchase of Software.

Service Tax (Legacy) 678 views 3 replies

Query--

Suppose -

I purchase softwares from the websites of foreign based compnaies by paying through my credit card. ( No understanding or agreement between me and the software compnay) --- 

I use such softwares in developing new software to be sold to my customers.

Question: purchase of software online would be called as import of service?

yes it shuld be considered as import of services

Dear Sumit,

In that case wat would be the basis of levy of tax.. there is no invoice . I have only the payment reciepts.

Should not it be a simple sale transaction?

 

 

In my view the purchase of software thru the net is not a service though the defintion on ITSS covers the same. The transaction is one of buy/ sell which is subject matter of VAT inot whose jurisdiction Service Tax should not have entered. SC will quash the same in due course in my view.
