It was paid in time. For commission paid for exporting goods you may examine possible exemption under not.41/2007.

Dear Mr. Raksh*t,

Yes. As per Madhukarji the said notification will definetely help.

As per the notification 41/2007 date 06.10.2007 (as ammended) the service tax paid as BAS, which is related to export of goods can be refunded, for which you have to file refund claim within 6 months from the end of the quarter of export date. As per your details the export was made in Nov'08 and end of the quarter is December'08.

So you have only 3 days time to apply for refund as the 6 months time is going to lapse on 30.06.2009.

hey

what if the case is like this:

An agent has been appointed for promoting our product and procuring orders outside india. There are no export orders during the year. He charges the company for marketing services rendered by him. Is this covered under under " Import of Services"

regards

Yes. Being covered under the "Business Auxilary Services" and provided by the foreign agent, the marketing service has to be treated as 'import of service'.

Thank u Mr. Kumar
