14 October 2011 I am a civil engineer work done on material contract basis. Recently I know that work done to the charitable Educational Institutions are not liable to service tax. Inadvertently I had paid service tax on Composition scheme @ 4 % under the works contract for FY : 2010-11. Can I get refund that whole amount?

14 October 2011 indirect taxes are not refundable ( except export)as you have charged the same from buyer/ service receipent,

as per our knowledge there is no such rule 5to exempt the service tax for providing service to charitable educational institution, please share your source of information to discuss further.
