Dear Expert/s, One of my client has recruited some of foreign employees i.e. employees belong to associated enterprise which is situated in france under an agreement. my doubt is whether it attracts service tax to be paid by indian co. under reverse charge method. The foreign co. is raising invoice which contains salary etc of their employees and indian co. is reimbursing it. so plz clarify it, mention section or case law if any.

In this case, the foreign company is providing the services of Manpower recruitment to the Indian company and it is covered under Section 66A of the Finance Act 1994, i.e. import of services and the Indian Company is under an obligation to pay Service tax under reverse charge.
