According to Sec 66A of Finance Act 1994, any recipient of service who has a permanent establishment in India is liable to remit service Tax, on value of services availed by him from a person who has a permanent establishment/Place of Business/Place of Residence outside India... I would like to know if the value of such services does not exceed basic exemption limit, in the hands of recipient (i.e. Rs 10 Lacs in last Tax Year), along with all other services rendered/imported by him, will he be still liable to pay such Service Tax???
Please reply experts its a little urgent...

There is a Goods Transport Agency (GTA) which has not taken Service Tax Registration Number. Annual sales is more than Rs. 50,00,000.
GTA does not show in its sales invoice or consignment note that service tax to be paid by whom it means consignor or consignee. It also does not charge service tax. Assume that consignor, GTA and consignee no one pays service tax.
Who can be blamed for non payment.
Its whos responsibility to pay.
Suppose Service Tax Authorities comes to know this to which of the parties it will made pay service tax.
