15 July 2013 Hi,

I make buyer and seller connect and earn commission on that.

For Eg: Buyer is from Japan and Seller from China and I earn commission from Seller in USD in my account.

Is service tax applicable on this transaction? If yes then what is the criteria ??

And the commission is also received in USD. So, a fresh thinking is necessary
