Exempted form service tax. If any services consumed partially in india and partially outside India, it is assumed that it is consumed outside India and it is export of services and no serviec tax.

Dear All, I need clarification on following, I am working in consulting engineering, we gives services to our office situated in other countries, for that they agreed to pay the half of the rent for the said premises which we are using in india. The payment i am receiving in foreign currency. Other thing they people visit india and the hotel staying charges, taxi charges are being paid by them to us. In both the case do i have to pay service tax ?
