If Indian company B provides service to manufacturer A of foregin country by just identifying the person and B receives the commission in foreign commision and no bill has been raised on B for materials then service tax is not payable it will be in the nature of export of service and exempted accordingly.
If goods were billed on B and he transfers to C for a higher value then it becomes part of sale and sales tax provisions will apply and no service is involed here.
