13 May 2009 Service provider being a non-resident, the service receiver has to pay service tax on the consultancy services received.

TDS needs to be deducted under section 195 depending upon the residential status & also DTAA applicable.

13 May 2009 IN the absence of the some basic information like their presence in India etc I am assuming that the service have not been provided in India, my very brief answers to your query would be

Service Tax - yes applicable
As per article 14 of DTAA between India Geamny and India Spain, NO withholding is required from these payments. You need further clarification, you are welcome.
