15 March 2017 Hi, I am an employee of a UK company based in india. The company does not have a legal entity in india, so I file my tax return as a self employed. In my offer letter they have mentioned me as employee for the company. Every month receive the salary in my bank and I do not have to raise invoice every month. I am not registered for any service tax. Will I have to pay the service tax. My job profile is business development in India.

15 March 2017 Since, co. has mentioned you as employee in their offer letter, there is no question of service tax because there is employer and employee relationship. Where there is employer and employee employee relationship service tax is not applicable and the same does not comes under ambit of service tax
