Dear Experts,

Recently we are exporting goods using FEDEX who charge us Service Tax.

As per our knowledge by Finanace Ministry notification, exporters are eligible for refund of service tax for the goods exported outside India.

This means, we used FEDEX services (a forwarding company) who charged us the Service Tax for exports.

Now our accountants went to Service Tax dept where they shoed them away by saying such notification are not yet cleared.

But here is this notification -:

pleage tell me concepts and general provisions of service tax immergetely

Facts: A company (100% EOU)exports software services to foreign clients.
As per rule 4 of export of service rules 2005, the company does not pay service tax on the export of services.
As there is no output service tax "cenvat credit" on the services utilised is not taken to current assets in the balance sheet. Instead it is charged to the profit and loss account
Now the question is: For claiming the refund of service tax on input services from the department IS IT NECESSARY THAT CENVAT CREDIT ACCOUNT HAS TO BE SHOWN IN THE BALANCE SHEET. In any case, the company would be submitting the export invoices, FIRCs, bankers certificate and vendors bills like courier, audit fees, to the department for claiming the refund of service tax on input services.

Kindly clarify the doubt
