Consultant services to Foreign company

[Suresh A]

HI,

I am planning to work for a French company as a Technical consultant (Only services) who sells software. They will pay me fixed amount of Euros every month. I am self emplyment, not a comapny (as free lanser)

My role will be providing software training to the customers. I will not be in direct sales. So, because of this I need to travel India and foreign countries for providing training. In this case, I can reimburse the expenses (on actual with bill). Some times, I need visit the Fairs (India & Abrod), and also Visit my parent company. So, do I need to apply for GST and how these expenses are taxed under GST

1. I recieved Fixed amount of charges every month (may be around 2500 Euro).

2. Expenses when I travel in India (actual)

3. Expenses when I travel in foreign countires (actual)

4. Expenses when I visit Fairs, foreign company.

5. Some times I may provide servises to Indian customers by self. In this also the expenses need to be reimbursed.

6. Any tax credits etc.. I get

Thank you

Suresh
