This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether an Indian company, A Ltd, needs to pay IGST on technical inspection services performed by a foreign entity, B, outside India. Based on Section 2(11) of the IGST Act, 2017, the import of services requires the place of supply to be in India. As the service was rendered outside India, it is not considered an import of services and therefore not subject to IGST.
