1. there is basic exemption 10 lakh is till when you crossed above the exemption limit then only the st is appplicable. 2. export of service to the other countries service tax is exempted 3.only when the service is exported & payment received from INDIA then service tax is applicable. 4. ST payable only on received or realised amount not on entiire billed amount.
