07 January 2009whether service tax is applicable on cargo handling services for export cargo? and if not then what arethe documents to be obtained from the CHA by the CFS so as to prove the transaction as export?
in case the CFS has not obtained any documents from the CHA will he be a DEFAULTER in future for not collecting and paying service tax?

The activity is liable to service tax. The freight forwarder is not exporting the service, and hence he has to pay the service tax.
Off course the exporter can claim refund of this tax paid as service tax paid on input service for export.

Advocacy services does not attract sevice tax, so there is no question of any service tax.
Off course, as the payment is more than 20K, you should deduct at the applicable rate and give him TDS certificate.
