Taxability of Export of 'Interior Decorator' services

Vineet Jain (CFO) (59 Points)

21 March 2011  

Hello - Thanks for valuable time of experts in this forum, for benefit of larger audience.

 

I need your urgent help. Please suggest whether Service Tax is chargeable in following situation -

* Our Client - AA (proprietorship), doing interior designing & decoration
* Scenario - AA is working with overseas partner (italy), who in turn is rendering services to Indian clients
* Query - Should service tax be charged by AA to the Italian customer, or can it be treated as export services and thus no service tax is payable?

Thx,
vJ
