We are exporter manufacturer. We have received certain design development fee from one of our Foreign Customer to redesign of our existing product. Based on re-design, we will manufacture and export our product to the said foreign customer. As we are service provider in that case, shall we be liable to pay service tax on this “design development fee” received from foreign buyer which is finally to be used in manufacturing and export to the same foreign buyer?
