I need clarification for two below mentioned queries.:

1.      One of my client is acting as a commission brokers.  He is acting as an agent for local importers for importing Raw Cashew Nuts in shell from Foreign countries to india on contract basis.  He is getting commission from the importers.  Whether service tax is applicable?   Or exempt under the head of “Agricultural Products”.

and

2.      Another client, he is also acting as a commission brokers.  He is acting as an agent for local exporters for exporting processed cashewnets to foreign countries on contract basis.  He is getting commission from the Exporters.  Whether service tax is applicable?   Or exempt under the head of “Agricultural Products”

Exempt

As far as raw cashes are concerned they are specifically covered under the exemption notification under "nuts".

The processed cashews also wouldbe exempt where they couldbe considered processed foods. I am inclined to agree with Mr. Rajesh that normally processing could be said to be only to make the same marketable where the essential characteristics is not altered.

However there are disputes pneding before the Appellate authorities in this regard.

Warm Regards
