Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether film production services rendered in India for foreign clients constitute an export of services under GST. While the client is abroad and payment is in foreign currency, the place of supply is determined by where the service is physically performed. According to Section 13(5) of the IGST Act, if the film shoot takes place in India, the place of supply is considered India, meaning GST may be applicable on the services provided.
