Development and sale of packaged software is subject to duties of central excise and local VAT. There is no service tax on packaged software. In case of central excise duty, the status of assessee is no material. Where the development and sale activity is being done in India, he can claim for exemption upto 1.5 crores subject to the other conditions of notification no. 8/2003 CE dated 1.3.2003 as applicable to SSI units. On the other side, if the development activity is being done outside India and the same is sold in India after being import, the same is subject to Customs Duty. In that case, there is no question of exemption.
