Query

the application of service tax depends on the location where the service is consumed.. since as per your information, the service is provided outside India the service tax will not be applicable, irrespective of the provider, or billing, or currency details..

hi

AS FAR AS I KNOW

THE SITUATION GIVEN BY YOU IS COVERED UNDER

"EXPORT OF SERVICES RULES" (service provided outside india + consideration receieved in foreign convertible exchange =export of service)

AND HENCE MADE EXEMPT

although the above written comments are correct logically

but this has been covered in rules as export so that input tax credits can still be taken by service provider

waiting for other (professional) comments on this answer

Hi

The export of Service rules have been removed from 01 /07/2012...

At present , Place of Provision rules covers this situation.

The place of provision of service is place of service recepient. SInce in your case Service receiver is outside India,it is not taxable service.

Not only, POPSR 2012 , but also six clauses Rule 6A of ST Rules 1994 govern export of services.
