Is service tax applicable on commission remitted outside India

Sep-16th-2011

Sir,

We are in export business. We are exporting to Sri Lanka, Turkey & Phillipines. We have to pay commission to agents in these countries. I want to know wheather service tax is applicable on commission remitted outside india or not. If not then under which section we are exempted and if service tax is applicable then how much amount is applicable.
