Hello Sir/Madam, I am running a website. Many of my friends are also working on this website. I gave them our website's link and they post these link on there facebook page. For all this i have to pay some amount to all of them. My question is, some of friends are outside the india if i pay them, then what tax i need to pay and how much.

if you pay outside India then it amounts to Import of services.
you need to pay this amount under reverse charge and hence you will not pay any service tax amount to the person(foreign party) but will directly deposit the amount into government.
NOTE: you cannot utilise your input credit and you have to pay this amount into govt. After paying you can very well use the amount for your other future liability of ST.
