Reverse Charge Mechanism Under Service Tax | Foreign Bank Charges on Export Proceeds Exempt from Tax Liability : CESTAT Chennai
CESTAT Chennai rules that foreign bank charges deducted from export proceeds do not attract service tax under the reverse charge mechanism, as Indian exporters are not 'service recipients' of such charges. This decision clarifies the scope of taxable services for exporters and prevents double taxation on cross-border banking transactions.
