We are providing consulting Engineering service to SEZ. Our client says that he is SEZ Unit, hence do not charge service tax on our invoices as per SEZ latest notification no 40/2012 dt. 20.06.2012 applicable from 01.07.2012. Sir, Please suggest me what document/forms should we have obtained from DLF Limited to satisfy our service tax authorities at the time of our service tax assessment?

As per notification 40/2012-ST : “Provided that where the specified services received in SEZ and used for the authorised operations are wholly consumed within the SEZ, the person liable to pay service tax has the option not to pay the service tax ab initio instead of the SEZ unit or the developer claiming exemption by way of refund in terms of this notification” Thus, it is clear from above, if the service is totally consumed in SEZ then there is no need to pay the service tax. Otherwise, the service tax is to be paid and then the refund should be claimed by SEZ unit. Now, you have to decide whether the service is wholly consumed in SEZ or not. Further notification does not states about the document obtained by the service provider in case of SEZ opt an option to not pay the service tax instead of availing exemption through refund. So for your record you can take the declaration from the SEZ unit that this service is wholly consumed in SEZ only.
