If the event occurs outside India, the place of supply is outside India and the services qualify as export of services (zero-rated). If the event is held in India, the place of supply is India and the supply is domestic, subject to IGST; where the foreign principal is treated as recipient of services from abroad, reverse charge may apply and input tax credit may be available depending on facts. Contract terms and the specific place-of-supply provision for event services are determinative. (AI Summary)
