hello experts
Please help me with this query
I am a freelancer based in chandigarh. I am basically an architect but
my business is related to graphics and computer visualization services
to clients. Now i have some of my clients in US and canada and they
outsource the work to me and then pay me accordingly.i work online with
them. now i want to know as i am liable to charge service tax, do i
charge service tax from my foreign based clients? there are 2
situations my one client is settled in US but he has a bank account
here in Chandigarh. once the work is done i get the DD from this bank
locally. he gets his payments from US but he gives it to me through a
local bank. I am sending my bills to his local office address only in
INR format. Do i charge service tax from this client?
Second situation is one of my clients is paying me directly from CANADA
thru western Union. Does it matter if i receive CASH or Cheque from
western union as all money from Western UNION is already white. Do i
charge service tax from them.They haven't asked for any bills yet but
eventually they will. So should i bill them in Dollars and send it on
their office address in CANADA?
Whats the best way to deal with this situation?
thanks
