i.e. exporters can get refund the service Tax (ST) which they have already paid on some export related expenses, i meant to say those (ST) we can get refund on what are expenses which I would like to know.

hi prsanna,

thanks, i got the answer. but, bit i want to explain to you. some middle level co's, espcially exporters they do not have cenvat credits on inputs, in fact they may not have registered with excise dept as it is not compulsory but they may hold the st regn. number. In that situation, ST paid on some inputs i.e. export related business expenses which is allowed to get refund from ST dept with proper compliance.

Your query is not clear. If tax is paid under import of service - it is in order. If the tax is paid under export of service - then it is not required to be paid. BUT if the tax is paid in 2005 no question of gettinng refund as the issue is hit by time bar. (One year from date of payment.)
