19 April 2009 Services provided to SEZ unit no longer stands exempted from service tax, therefore sevices rendered by you to the SEZ will be subject to service tax, for which the sez can claim.

You have not mentioned as to how you have billed the SEZ unit for receiving the payment. Whether, you have charged service tax which is inclusive of the payment received by you.

Not clear????
