Hi , My question is that the applicant is rendering online publication of journal services to his foreign client as well as to his indian clients. Now i want to know, 1.) whether service tax is applicable to him in india on the services rendered to his foreign clients. if no, because of export of service tax rules than 2.) whether the service rendered by him in india is liable to pay service tax, if yes then 3.whether the exemption limit of rs 10 lacs is considered for services rendered in india or both(india and overseas).

If the conditions laid down in rule 6A of service tax are satisfied the service provided by you to the foreign clients qualifies to be export of service and is not taxable. The wording of the notification 33/2012 is "exempts taxable services of aggregate value not exceeding ten lakh rupees" and therefor the amount of service exported is not to be included
