Dear Rakesh,

Just read the service tax law and you can understand why the client needs to pay the service tax and you can know all the other issues relating to service tax.

Simply stated a service provider has to charge the Service tax and collect the same from the beneficiary of service. Beneficiary will bear and service provider will collect and government will enjoy.

Yes , what  srinivasragavan say is correct. Beneficiary will bear, service provider will collect and government will enjoy.
