Service tax on input services for STPI unit

We are the software exporter and not charging any service tax on customer. Can we claim refund of service tax on input services like comuter rental, office rental, telephone courier expenses ?

Is there any machenism to get service tax exemption from department to get expemption on input services sothat vendor will not charge to us?

Please advise. mehul.dedhia @ hurix.com

As per the latest foreign trade policy the STPI units are exemption for claiming rebate (refund) for claimable service tax paid to vendors on input services. Currently there is no mechanism of getting exemption from payment of service tax
Only if ur service fall under taxabel service only then refund is avaialble. Normally Software is not a service apart from AMC of software
you can claim rerfund.

What are the implication for non renovation of stpi licence.
