10 March 2012 In my view, No, you cannot claim on these invoices as export of services because these are your input services/expenses for providing tour operator services under Tour operator service. however, as you said these services are provided by Non-resident outside India and consumed outside India then it will not attract service tax as services provided and received outside India.
