Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications for UK-based education consultancies that send students to overseas universities. It covers whether Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies to these services and how they are treated under the Income Tax Act, specifically regarding presumptive taxation under Section 44AD. The core issue revolves around whether these services qualify as an export of services and how commission-based income from foreign universities is taxed.

Your query is silent as to whether the foreign entity has rep office in India or not, is the query from payer or recipient perspective?

Thanks for your response. The foreign University doesn't have any office in india. and the query is from the tax payer perspective.

we are the education consultancy service provider and sending students to University. we doesn't rise any invoice or any just reference. For this we will receive some percentage of commission from the University in convertable currency.

Please advise us.

In my view, this could amount to export of services. however, expert on GST views is welcome.

With respect to income tax, one need to peruse the bye laws and understand the exact nature of service to determine whether it can fall under 44AD or not

Yeah. most of the education consultancy services not raising any GST invoice neither paying GST.

Thanks for sharing a piece of wonderful information.
