14 June 2008 As per India's foreign trade policy as applicable to STP and EOU units these units are exempt from payment of service tax.

Does it mean that one should not charge service tax on the bill amount of services provided to these units and will these services include Rent, Audit fees and other professional services too?

20 June 2008 STPI and EOU are exempt from service tax means they need not collect and pay service tax to the govt on the services provided by them and people who r providing services to these entities should not charge service tax to them.
