26 March 2009 The person liable to pay service tax can pay the tax @0.25% of the gross value of money exchange (say 100$ @ Rs.50 so on Rs.5000) instead of 10.3% of the gross value if the charges of money changer are not seperately shown in invoice.

If charges/commission is seperately showned on invoice then service tax should be paid @10.3% of such charges or commission.
