One of My client being an Individual as Service Provider engaged in Taxable services "Erection,Commissioning & Installation".

At present he is Providing Services to Adani Power Ltd being a Co as Developer of SEZ units like Mundra Port SEZ LTD since April,2011 & Onwards.(i.e. whithin Premises of SEZ Area & exclusively for their Consumption.)

As per Service Receipent they are exempted from Service Tax as per Certificate issued by Development Commissioner under Ministry of Commerce & Industry.

Now query is whether My client ie Service Provider is exempted from Service tax under the Above Catogery & If Yes the Under What Notification of Service Tax Act/Rules.

Please reply at the earliest as the Ist Half yearly ST 3 Return for the Period ended on 30/09/2011 is going to be filed on or before 25/10/2011 online.

Pls go throught the below link 

https://www.servicetax.gov.in/notifications/notfns-2k9/st09-2k9.htm

It states that the exemption is made available to the SEZ by way of refund of ST paid, so the service provider has to pay service tax. However if the service is one of those where the service received is liable to pay ST like Goods transport agency etc... then , in this case SEZ would be the service receiver, so SEZ is exempt from paying ST
