22 June 2012 Any servie service in relation to business or commerce, where the recipient has a place in a taxable territory ( being India) the service tax is payable by the recipient under Reverse charge as per section 68(2)of Finance Act.

Services consumed outside India, which does not have relationship with the business entity in India and the provider is equally situated outside India, then it is outside the perview of taxabaility as it is received outside taxable territory.
