Service tax is payable if service is rendered in taxable territory(in India except J&K) as per place of provision of service Rules. Receipt of money is irrelevant. If the services are received in foreign country it is exempted.
For exempted service see place op provision of service Rules Notification No. 28/2012 - Service Tax.

Service tax is payable by you under reverse charge including your margin amount on behalf of foreign company if services are rendered to Indian clients.
If services are rendered to foreign clients it will be exempted except Online information and database access or retrieval services;

The place of provision of a service shall be the location of the recipient of service.
As service is provided to foreign clients, it is provided outside the taxable territory hence exempted from service tax.
