02 February 2013 What shall be place of provision of service, if we are uploading the download link of software on website and enabling it download from anywhere by making payment?
What shall be the treatment if the software is downloaded by any party, out of India and making payment through online banking channel?

02 February 2013 In my opinion it is covered under "Place of provision generally" (Rule 3 of Place of provision of Services Rules,2012) and location of service should be location of recipient. A linking rule is Rule-9 where place of provision of service is "Location of service provider" for "online information and database access or retrieval services"but in my opinion sale of software is not covered under this. It is also clear from point no. 5.9.5 of "Taxation of Services- An Education Guide" issued by department.
