03 July 2013 We are a growing software company in India and provide tailored softwares to our client base in USA. We are paid in USD and sometimes in INR. My question is, are we required to pay Service Tax on our abroad transactions or is exempted, since we are exporting our services.

Please Guide Anyone !!

09 July 2013 Thank you so much for your pains and courtesy.

As per your advice,I have gone through the rule 6A. Although the literature was ambiguous at some parts, I collected from it that we are exempted from the provisions of Service Tax.

However I have still doubts that if I have interpreted the provisions correctly. Kindly state your opinion having regard to my case.

Thank you once again.
