  1. Hi

    what is the status of contract Labor service receiver when service provider charge full rate ie 12.36% as service tax and deposit it

    what is the liability of service receiver as the service is covered under reverse charge mechanism.

    1. Reverse charge will be applicable when service receiver is corporate. Otherwise service provider will charge service tax fully. No liability under RCM for service received.

      If service receiver is corporate and provider is individual, inform service provider that no service tax should be levied in bill and corporate needs to pay service tax 12.36% under RCM.
