CIRCULAR NO 149/18/2011-ST So far Service Tax Refund (STR) was made available to exporters (other than SEZ Units/Developers) on specified services used for export of goods covered in Notification 17/2009-ST dated 07.07.2009 (as amended) subject to certain conditions. In this connection, Honourable Finance Minister, had stated in his Budget Speech that
Exports of as many as 68 services, including banking and asset management, will be eligible for refund of service tax, as per a draft circular issued by CBEC on 28.10.2011. The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) in order to streamline the process of sanctioning of refund claims arising on account of service tax on input services that have gone into exports of services, has sought public comments by November 30 on the draft circular.
Government today said that it was working on a system to automatically transfer service tax refunds in their accounts. Currently, the duty drawback is directly credited to accounts of exporters maintained at customs houses, but exporters have to file claims separately to get service tax refunds. Exporters complain that many a times there are unusual delay in refund of the levy.
To sum up, the following measures are proposed: (i)Service Tax Refund will be processed in the ICES through the Custom Houses. (ii) Service Tax Refund will be given electronically to the exporter who opts for claiming STR based on schedule. In case an exporter wishes to claim STR on export of goods on actual basis he will approach the concerned Central Excise/Service Tax field formations. (iii) Service Tax Refund will be processed and sanctioned on the ICES system subject to the safeguards indicated. F.No.354/66/2011-TRU, Dated – 12th August, 2011
