Is service tax applicable for a software company which is doing 100 % export for US?

Dear Sir,

We are a software company doing website management and software development for a US based comany. We are not registerd with STPI. We only have inward remmittance from our US based company.I want to know if service tax is applicable for us. Kindly advice

Of late, a lot of complications and differences have arisen on service tax applicability cases, and the department has raised demands and penalties on the parties. It won't be wise to say anything on your above simple words. Entrepreneur attempts to save tax while the Department wishes maximum collection. Therefore, consult for a professional studied opinion in your own interests. If interested, you may also contact me for the purpose.

Yes. You can have duty drawback on it after export certification.

The liability to pay service tax is only when the service being provided by you falls within the definition and scope of notified taxable service on the link below

Though the activities specified by you do not appear to fall under any of the notified services; the issue may be required to be further examined considering the detailed nature of your contract .
