11 March 2009 Service Tax is payable, by indian company, under the head "intellectual property service" under Section 66A of the Finance Act. The payment should be done in cash. If however, such services are used as input service for manufacture of excisable goods or providing taxable output service, the person paying the tax can take cenvat credit.
