GST liability by foreign contractor to Indian client, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[VIVEK SHARMA]

Good afternoon Forum members.

My query for subject matter is as following:

A Saudi Arabian client (say A) hires a UAE based comapny (say B) for some supply of services at Saudi Arabia. Company B hires an India based company with valid GSTIN (Say C) for this job. The company C hires a Saudi based contractor (Say D) for this job.

Now,

1) when the company D (From Saudi) will raise invoice to the company C (From India), whether the same will attract GST?

2) When the company C (From India) will raise invoice to the company B (From UAE), whether the same will attract GST or any other international tax between India and UAE?

The answer to this query will depend on the nature of servicve. In case it is a service where the place of supply is to be the place of the recipient of service then the first case will be that of import of service and the 2nd query will be an export of service.
