AI Summary

Event management services: export treatment depends on where the event is held and the place-of-supply rules.
Place of supply rules determine export treatment: if the event occurs outside India the place of supply is outside India and the service qualifies as export of services and zero-rated; if the event occurs in India the place of supply is India and the service is taxable. Contract terms and whether services are admission, organisation, or ancillary to events affect the place-of-supply analysis. Where the provider is located outside India but services are consumed in India, reverse charge may apply and input tax credit may be available.
