We are providing service to foreign co. for receiving orders from an Indian co. for which we are receiving payments in dollars as commission. Is this commission chargeable to service tax?

Sir, Our issue is this :- We are basically a Software company owing a commercial building. We have let it for rent and the total rent receivable exceeds Rs. 8 lacs per annum . When we raised the invoice along with ST component, the lessee refused to pay the same stating that it is not part of the original agreement. How do we convince them to pay the Service Tax ? Kindly give me some case laws/judgements etc which says that ST is to be borne by the receipient of service .
Thanks Subbu

Whether service tax applicable on such income or it is export of services????

HI.. is there any case laws/circulars/jusdgments which says that the receipient of services is liable to pay ST and not the Servcie provider?

A company pays technical fees to foreign company, which has no office in India. Whether it necessary to levy service tax by service receipent?
