As per the provisions of Service Tax it is to be charged and paid. In your friend's case AIRTEl has charged Service Tax and has given you the Bill. Now, your friend is selling it on retail basis. The service tax your friend is to be reduced by the service tax paid to the company and balance he has to pay. If there is no difference between retail price then your friend is getting commission which has got separate treatment.
