Service Receiver in India Liable for Service Tax on Imported Services Under Section 66A of Finance Act, 1994 A discussion initiated by an individual sought guidance on the applicability of service tax on imported services. Responses highlighted that when services are provided by a foreign-based provider to an Indian recipient, the service receiver is responsible for service tax obligations under Section 66A of the Finance Act, 1994. Key points include the service provider's foreign location, the recipient's Indian location, and the destination-based nature of the tax.
