Please refer to the Notification No. 41/07-ST as amended by notification Nos. 32/2008-ST, dated 18.11.2008 and 33/2008-ST, dated 7.12.2008

Service Tax refund can be claimed by the exporter under the notification no. 41/2007- dated 6th October, 2007  which exempts certain taxable services specified in the Schedule received by an exporter and used for export of goods.

[Brijesh Verma]

I agree with all my Ld. Brothers. But the relevant notification is 17/2009 and 18/2009... please check!!!

[Snehal Kulkarni]

 

We agree with Mr Brijesh.

The notification no. 41/2007-ST is supressed by the Notification No. 17/2009--ST.
