A PROPRIETORY FIRM TAKING CONSULTANCY FROM NRI REGARDING MARKET SURVEY OF DEMAND OF HIS PRODUCT OUTSIDE INDIA. WHETHER SERVICE TAX WOULD BE APPLICABLE WHILE MAKING PAYMENT TO NRI ???
15 July 2010
Market Survey of demand Outside India refers to provision of Service outside India, But please confirm whether the NRI has Indian Establishment regarding the same business ? If Yes whether Invoice for Service issued to the NRI's said Indian Unit ?
If Yes then it is not Export of service.
If the Service is provided outside india to any person outside India and consequently the Invoice raised on the Client outside India and Payment foe such services is made in Foreign Currency by the client to the service provider,,,,,,,,,then it is EXPORT of service and hence exempted from Servvice Tax.
