Dear All,

I have paid Service Tax on Export Services (non taxable) by mistake as I was ignorant about the rules. Now I want a refund and do not want adjustment as all my services are export services.

Now I am filling up Form ST 3 for filing Service Tax return. I do not know if I should enter the challan details of the amount paid by mistake. And if were to mention it where should I mention it - advance tax ??

Please advise what to do...Should I enter the details in ST 3 and if I have to where should I enter ?

Many thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Maharnav

Service tax paid by mistake when you are not liable to service tax you can claim the refund. The department can not hold the same better write a letter and submit in the department for the same and obtain an acknowledgement from them

do not mention challan details in st-3 return, if you mention challan detail in return and shown as paid against liability, you will not get refund easily.
