Service Tax on Bank Loan Rating Services: SEZ Unit Seeks Clarity on Exemptions and Refunds per Notification 40/2012. A unit in a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) sought clarification on whether service tax applies to rating services provided for bank loans. The unit requested information on any exemptions and relevant notifications. A respondent advised that the service tax must be paid initially, followed by a refund application. The respondent referenced Notification No. 40/2012-Service Tax dated 20-06-2012, which may provide guidance on exemptions and refund procedures for SEZ units. (AI Summary)
