Hi,

Please advise on the below :

My company is a private limited company and does not have a service tax registration as is covered in Export of Service.

We are receiving a cab service from a provider which is a firm.

Post July 2012,they are asking us to pay 40 % service tax as incidence of service tax is moved to service receipent which we can not do as we do not have a service tax registration.

What is the resolution on this ?

Please advise at the earliest ..

Regards,
Supriya
