In the first case u are liable to service tax u/s 66A. You are required to get the Service Tax Regn. from the dept, assess the Service Tax (presently 10.3%) and deposit the same. U will get the cenvat credit of the Service Tax paid by u as the same amounts to input service.
In the second case, it would amt. of export of service and not liable for service tax.
