Dear Sir,
We are a manufacturer and our two employees are went to japan and took training for this training vendor had charged us training fee, room charges for training and some other charges for material used by our employee during this training we paid all this charges to japan Vendors My question is id this transaction attract to service tax under Reverse Charge Mechanism.
Because Service provider is non taxable territory that is Japan and place of of service provide is also Japan our employees are went there so is any service tax liability for service receiver.
If Yes than on which amount on total amount including room rent and other charges or only on training fee.
Regards
Training Fees in Japan: No Service Tax Under Reverse Charge Mechanism as per Rule 4(b) of 2012 Rules. A manufacturer inquires about the service tax liability under the Reverse Charge Mechanism for training fees paid to a vendor in Japan, where two employees received training. The concern is whether service tax applies since the service provider and location are in a non-taxable territory. The response clarifies that no service tax is payable because the service was performed in Japan, a non-taxable territory, as per Rule 4(b) of the Place of Provision of Services Rules, 2012, which states that the place of service is where it is performed, requiring the receiver's physical presence.
