A new Company in India, not registered under Central Excise & Service Tax (Commercial activities not yet started) has been availing services for a foreigner.  The foreigner is billing the Indian Company through his Trust.  The bill is spilt into two components.

a. Visiting expenses covering to and fro Air fare, Boarding, Lodgong, Local travel and conveyance expenses

b. Consultation charges.

Request for clarification whether Service Tax is payable.
