06 July 2015 It is the responsibility of the Service Recipient to pay Service Tax in cash using GAR-7 Challan, he cannot pay the service tax part to Service Provider, if it is paid, this should be debited to his account as it does not exonerate the Service Receiver from the liability of Service Tax under Reverse Mechanism
