1. We are an Indian unit of a USA based company. We export software to the parent company. Can we claim tax refund on the Service Taxes paid to our bandwidtth provider ?

or for that matter any other input services.

2. The company has three offices, each one has bandwidtth. should we register Service tax for all three locations to claim benefits ? OR, register for one address, and let the all vendors raise bills to that adress ?
What is the easiest way out to claim max benfits ?

POT is applicable to all.

He can pay ser tax on receipt basis if his receipt in preceding year was 50 lacs or less.

If you are exporting services then service tax is exempted for you. So you can claim refund from the service tax department for the same.

It will be easy for the purpose of administration that you should have only one service tax registration & have all the compliances with the single provider number.
