2012 (7) TMI 447 - AT - Service TaxWhether service tax paid on CHA services in respect of export of goods can be allowed as credit or not – Held that:- Government under Notification No. 17/2009-ST dated 7.7.2009 has since granted exemption to various taxable services provided to an exporter. CHA services are also exempted under Sl. No. 11 to the Table annexed to the said Notification. The present cases have arisen apparently in the absence of exemption notification for the previous period. The only way freeing export goods from domestic taxes can be ensured for the period relevant to these appeals is to allow credit of the service tax paid on the CHA and other services in respect of the export consignments so that the exporter would be compensated either by utilization of such credit for payment of other taxes or by taking refund when such utilization is not possible - appeal is allowed holding that the credit is admissible
