Service tax for export of software services from 01.07.2012

Queries 2975 views 4 replies

We run a small software firm in India which exports software services to abroad. I have heard that there have been changes in the Service Tax rules since 01.07.2012. Earlier all software services exported were exempted of Service Tax. I wanted to know if the new rule imposes Service Tax on export of software service, if so, what is the percentage? Any guidance is appreciated.

If you were availing any exemption as per the earlier rule by virtue of export of service then you would be entitled to claim the same in the present scenario as well.

The provisions of Export of services has been rescinded since Place of Provision Rules has been implemented w.e.f. 01.07.2012.

The gist is the same. Hence, if you were not liable to tax earlier, you are not still now.

Sir, 

Can you guide by which notification the same is exempted 

Rule 4 of Export of Services Rules, 2005
