Ours is a partnership firm and are not registered with central excise. We are merchant-exporters and wants to claim refund of service-tax as per ST notification # 41/2012.
As per said notification, we approached local service-tax authorities with application on form A-2 for service tax code but department is asking us to apply on form ST-1.
Is is correct to apply on form ST-1 ?
Apply for some services on Form ST-1 and get yourself registered and then start claiming refund and every half year you file nil returns if your firm does not pay any reverse charge for any of the services
Sivaram, Many thanks for your reply.
As per your suggestions, we will apply on form ST-1. Will it be suffice if we register for 4 following services ?:
-Transport of goods by rail...
-Clearing and forwarding agent
-Customs house agent service
-Cargo handling service.
We will opt for electronic refund of ST at customs against each and every shipping bill to be filed.
Secondly, we wish to avail service tax exemption as per notification # 31/2012. Can we avail this also, besides above, by filing EXP1 and EXP2 ?
Thanks in advance !
