The contract between the SP and client is final. However there is a princiapl - consessu idem- meeting ofminds - since ST was not there it could be said that the cost ofthe same was not considered at that time. Also that ST is a detination based consumption tax - ultimate user to pay. These arguments may help in negotiation.
