Business development charges paid to foreign company or firm and levialibility of service tax thereon.

samiuddin ansari

Hello Sir,

My friend is having casting unit and sometimes he receives services of foreign person or firm for the business development purpose so as to increase customer base at foreign country including technical know how services. The Audit team of the Central Excise and Service Tax (Now CGST) has instructed him to pay the service tax at appropriate rate on such service charges borne by you as the service provider is situated at non-taxable territory or out of India. It is fact that Invoices were raised by the foreign firm for such services provided by them to his firm. The Audit team further held that since the service receiver is in the taxable territory and service provider is out of taxable territory, hence liability to pay the service tax lies on service receiver in terms of the provisions of place of provisions of services or RCM i.e. reverse charge mechanism.

We solicits your valuable views with supportive circulars or instructions of the Govt in the matter.

Thanks with regards,

S.N.Ansari.

Service Receiver Must Pay Service Tax on Foreign Business Development Services Under Reverse Charge Mechanism A forum participant inquired about the service tax liability on business development charges paid to a foreign company. The Central Excise and Service Tax Audit team instructed that the service receiver, located in a taxable territory, must pay service tax on services received from a provider in a non-taxable territory, under the reverse charge mechanism. The participant sought guidance and government circulars to support this position. A reply indicated that further instructions or suggestions were still awaited, and requested additional input from others with relevant government circulars or instructions. (AI Summary)
