Service tax applicablity

We are appointing a consultant who will be based in US, we are billing the customer in US for the services. The services will be rendered in US and the usage of such services will be in US. The remuneration for the consultant will be paid out from India in foreign currency.

 

The question is will service tax be applicable, in my opinion since the services are rendered outside India and the recipient of the service is also outside India. Could you please confirm my understanding is correct?

service tax is not applicable for your services because of the entire work is outside india

 

In my opinion this is export of service. Export of service deos not attract service tax levy. Ensure that you get the bills paid by foreign exchange thtough international banking channels.
