Service provided in foreign country and receipt of payment for services in foreign exchange both condition should be fulfiled for export of service. No service tax is payable if service is exported.

if your play school is affilated to any state/central board and conduct exams with board, then its exempted , otherwise its subjected to payment of service tax.

I am a freelance recruiter and I am paid recruitment fees by Executive Search Organisations based out of India for hiring people from any part of the world.Do I need to pay service charge for the remitance from abroad which I receive from my clients?

Dear Thameesudeen,

Freelance recruiter service provided by you will be export of service and no service tax on export of service, payment should be receipt in convertable foreign corency.  

I agree with Mr. Arun's point of view.If you have your business establishment in India and the companies also have a business establishment in India, then service tax will be imposed in India. So, be aware of the provisions. Hope it will help you
