We have been engaging local transporters for carrying materials from our factory to port on paying a sum of Rs.2500/- for each trip.We are aware that the service tax on export freight is fully exempted from taxation. But this case we have been receiving only local transporters bill for accounting.Is it a sufficient proof for claiming exemption under service tax ? or any other proof is required ? Please clarify

Service tax exemption for export freight requires consignment note in exporter's name and supporting export documents to claim relief.
The service tax exemption for export freight is available where documentary conditions of the notification are satisfied: the consignment note must be issued in the name of the exporter and, together with other export documents, suffices to claim the exemption; the exemption is not available for services supplied on an individual-to-individual basis.
