Dear Naveen, we are in Freight forwarding division, Thermal handling of container would be held in overseas port, but we receive payment from overseas or local customer in india. Since service rendered outside India.. how do we charge service tax.

When we bill overseas we use to charge in USD$, in local we bill INR.

does we come under place of provision.. your suggestion please

Dear Sir,

As per my opinion your case is fall under Place of provison 4(a) i.e.  Services performed on goods made physically available by the recipient to service provider/person acting on his behalf. Example: repair & maintenance, cargo handling, courier service etc.

hence your place of provision shall be your office and accordingly service tax shall be charged at the rate of 14%+.5% as appicable.

Regards

Naveen
