Guidance Note 5 Place of Provision of Services Rules, 2012 5.1 Introduction 5.1.1 What is the relevance of the 'Place of Provision of Services Rules, 2012'? The 'Place of Provision of Services Rules, 2012' specify the manner to determine the taxing jurisdiction for a service. Hitherto, the task of identifying the taxing jurisdiction was largely limited in the context of import or export of services. For this purpose rules were formulated which handled the subject of place of provision of services somewhat indirectly, confining to define the circumstances in which a provision of service would constitute import or export. The new rules will, on the other hand, determine the place where a service shall be deemed to be provided, in terms of section 66C of the Finance Act, 2012, read with section 94 (hhh) of Chapter V of the Finance Act, 1994. In terms of section 66B, a service is taxable only when, inter alia, it is "provided (or agreed to be provided) in the taxable territory". Thus, the taxability of a service will be determined based on the "place of its provision". The 'Place of Provision of Services Rules, 2012' will replace the 'Export of Services, Rules, 2005' and 'Taxation of Services (Provided from outside India and received in India) Rules, 2006.
