It was established that the appellant, as a merchant exporter, had exported goods and received THC services for the same, even though the service provider had paid the service tax under a different category. Referring to Circular No.112/6/2009-ST, the Tribunal concluded that the appellant was entitled to the refund of service tax paid on THC, supported by previous Tribunal judgments.Therefore, the Tribunal held that the appellant was eligible for a refund of the service tax paid on THC, while the refund claim for freight and documentation charges was rejected as per the appellant's concession.The appeal was disposed of accordingly.
