	Hi, We provided design services to a International NGO based in geneva. Do we need to add service tax to the bill amount that we raise. We have the option to raise the bill in INR or Euros. Whatever the billing currency the amount will be transferred in Euros. Please advise. Thanks Krishna Kumar www.digitatemedia.in

for service tax exemption there should be

1) services should be exported / consumed out of indian territory

2) payment should be received in convertible foreign exchange

in absence of both above, the service tax liability arise and payable.

The Export Of service tax rules 2005, define the term "export of service" qua each service. rule 4 of export of service Rules specifies the export of service tax without payment of service tax. Rule 5 enable the government to grant rebate which are ultimately Expotted.

It may be noted That the Phrase " Taxable services which are exported" Is not synonymous with the Phrase "services which are exempted" . The service Still continued to be taxed  

Agree with Mr. Sharma..

You can raise a bill without service tax after ensuring below points

1) You should be able to prove that your services were consumed outside India.

2) You should receive your payments in Euros or any other convertible foreign currency..

Agreed with Sharmaji.....
