Service Tax Exemtions for Outsourcing Services

Dear Forum Members


I am a call centre owner.

I have a query and any help will be appericiated.

I am working for a UK based client. I am not charging any service tax from him. My company is a propertior firm.

I do have my company service tax number.

I want to know as i am not charging (i cannot charge as per the agreed pricing for the services intially with the client) the service tax from the client, but i know that i am liable to pay that on the total amount recieved in my current account.

So if i will pay that from my own that will be a big loss for my business.

I want to know the good option to handle this or is there any examptions for the service tax which i can avail for bpo services / telemarketing services / outsourcing services / software support services / information technology support services. etc.

Please help me out with this.

Thanks in Advance

It will exempt from service tax because service is provide outside of india… but the payment should be recd in foreign currency its condition under service tax ….

All the above services seem to be taxble under BAS or IT services. But if the recipient is situated outside India and payment received in FE , it amounts to export of service and hence exempted.

Dear Sir,

Our company's hospital X-ray machine repaired by a person and now he is operating that machine and giving us contribution of Rs. 10 out of Rs. 100/-.

I want to know whether service tax will be applicable on this or not?
