I have a friend in USA who is a Income Tax Practitioner there. He wants to outsource some of income tax works to me. He would scan the necessary documents and send to me through e-mail. In India, I have to work out on his documents as per American Income Tax Laws and send back to him through e-mail. For the services rendered by me, he would send the professional fees to me. My queries are as follows:
1)Should I collect service tax for my services to him?
2) Should I get registered with any legal authority?
3) Should i open a separate bank account for receiving fees from his?
4) Will I receive fees in US dollars or Indian Rupees?
5) In case if he deducts tax at source as per American Income Tax Laws, can I claim the same in India?
6)is it enough to raise my professional bill through e-mail? or send him physical printout?
