hi. I've started a new proprietorship firm and work individually for a company outside India. I do not require to employ anyone for my work. My CA suggested I don't have to pay service tax as I'm not employing anyone. is that true? under what act? also I'm on a contract with the person who I'm doing service for.

It is not true. Service tax applicable if you provide alone without employing any body any taxable service. Tell me the nature of service and where the service is provided.

Good. the service is provided to a client out side India and payment is received in foreign currency, then it is considered as export of service and no service tax applicable.

it's just that it will be covered and people will know that income has been recieved from foreign sources. I don't really know much about it

The main condition is for all export of goods and services is the payment should be received in foreign currency routed through banking channels.
