Hi All,
One of my clients is importing internet service from its Headquarters in Switzerland. Is it liable to pay service tax under reverse charge? Can I apply the concept of 'Service provided to ourself' and hence avoid this tax?

Dear Ms Deepika,
Pls refer Sec 66A(2), "Where a person is carrying on business through a permanent establishment in India and through another permanent estabilsement in a country other than India, such permanent establishments shall be treated as separate persons for the purpose of this section (i.e. Sec 66A)"
Hope this clarifies your doubt
