Budgetory Changes w.r.t. PPS Rule 2012, proposed w.e.f. 01/10/2014, Service Tax

[Vinay Kunte]

What will be the effect of the proposed changes in Rule 2 and effective to Rule 9(c) of Place of Provision of Service Rules 2012, vide Notification No. 14/2014, on the working cost with margin received by Indian Subsidiaries for running the business in India from their foreign parent companies? Even if they are not working as commission agent but involved in trading of goods of the parent companies? Will the entire reimbursement come into the tax net or the export of service benefit will continue to be available?

In my opinion. if they are engaged in Trading of the goods of the parent companies, it will not come under tax net. However, if they simply point out to a prospective buyer who would buy the products of the parent company and earn commission in the process, then they would be covered by proposed changes.
