Till March 31,2008, we have been utilizing 20% Cenvat credit. With effect from April 01,2008, we would like to follow option wherein provider of output services shall pay an amount equal to 8% of the Value of exempted services provided. Query : 1. Whether the unutilized balance amount available in Cenvat Credit as on March31, 2008, can be utilized for payment of service tax for the services to be provided on and after April 01,2008?. 2. Whether export of services is treated as exempted or excluded Services; consequently whether service tax is payable @ 8% on value of services exported?. 3. In case the answer to query 1 is in the affirmative, then what process needs to be followed to avail the unutilized Cenvat Credit and whether any written communication needs to be sent to the Central Excise Department?
