Service Tax on remittance u/s. 195, Service Tax

[CHITRA RAGURAM]

An EOU is deducting TDS u/s. 195 of IT Act. All the units making remittance to overseas parties are liable to pay Service Tax.

Since EOU units are already exempted from Service Tax, whether ST has to remitted for these payments or not ?? Please advice.

An EOU units (not SEZ units) are liable to pay service tax on import of services. Thereafter they can claim refund subject to certain conditions.
