27 January 2016 one of my client is running a call centre and provides service to person in USA. My client is providing this service to one of the company settled in USA. The client charges fees from the USA company based on service provided and receives the same in dollars. Will service tax applicable to him or it will be treated as export of services. Also if this service is exempt from service tax being an export of service, then to do he need to take service tax number and file the return as exempt service or no need to take service tax number as the service is exempt.

28 January 2016 The said service is exempted according to place of provision rules. So if he is the only client, there is no need for registration. however you may claim refund of input services.
