There is a service category called Business Auxiliary Service (added in 2003) which excludes Information Technology Services from the service tax net. Please refer to the Section 2 of the following circular available on the service tax web site: http://www.servicetax.gov.in/servicetax/circular/st_circ_62-2k3.htm There are some news reports also which add to the confusion: http://www.thehindu.com/2006/01/23/stories/2006012300241700.htm http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2005/10/15/stories/2005101502421100.htm It would be great if any of the firms / companies charging or paying or not paying service tax can shed more light on this. -- Manish ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
