12 June 2014 Here we need to determine whether service was provided by the USA consultant on the Mold equipment when it was in USA or when it came to India?

In case USA consultant provide services on the Mold equipment when it was in the USA then you must have already paid Customs on the same so service tax should not apply.

We need to go into granular detail in order to provide a black or white answer to your query.

Also from accounting perspective, you can capitalize this service as part of fixed asset.
