Would services received by Government, a local authority, a governmental authority from a provider of service located outside India be taxable?

  1. No tax is payable on the services received by the Government / local authority/ governmental authority from a provider of service located outside India.
  2. However, the exemption is applicable to only those services which are received for the purpose other than commerce, industry or any other business or profession.
  3. In other words, if the Government receives such services for the purpose of
    business or commerce, then tax would apply on the same.
