27 July 2015 Hello,

I am running a buying agency in Delhi, India and having my clients in Austria. As i'm working as a mediator in between exporter and importer and providing only the services from India to my overseas clients and on behalf of this i'm getting certain %age on each invoice value which my overseas client is paying.

Since this service is being provided to a foreign company, will it be exempt from Service Tax or I've to pay service tax?

I was told by someone else that I will not pay and service tax because the service is providing to a Foreign Company

Thanks for your time in advance.

28 July 2015 Service tax dept will inquire about the nature of service you provide, based on which only service tax liability will be decided.
