<h1>Exporters Benefit: Govt Extends Service Tax Refund to Include 3 More Services, Total Now 16 for Export Neutrality.</h1> The government has issued a notification extending the refund of service tax paid by exporters to include three additional taxable services, alongside the existing 13 services. These services include Custom House Agent services, banking and financial services related to export bill collections and letters of credit, and commission agent services provided by agents outside India. This extension aims to neutralize the service tax paid by exporters on services directly related to export goods, ensuring these costs do not impact export competitiveness. The scheme now covers a total of 16 services that are not input services but are attributable to exports.
