The taxability of Services depend on the Place of Provision of Service.
As per Rule 3, the place of provision of Service is the location of Service Receipant. However as per Rule 9, the place of provision of Service is the location of the Service Provider in case of Intermediary Services.
Intermediary Services means a broker, an agent or any other person, by whatever name called, who arranges or facilitates a provision of a service (hereinafter called the 'main' service) or a supply of goods (addition by Budget 2014), between two or more persons, but does not include a person who provides the main service or supplies the goods on his account;
As per Rule 14, where the provision of a service is, prima facie, determinable in terms of more than one rule, it shall be determined in accordance with the rule that occurs later among the rules that merit equal consideration.
Hence Rule 9 would apply in this case.
The Service provided by the Commission Agent would be Taxable as the Location of Service Provider is in India.
