Dear Professional Colleagues,
I am having query regarding service tax. My company has not taken service tax registration under service tax till feb 2012 end but it was liable to pay service tax. Company has taken registration only in the month of march 2012 and has paid service on his service tax liability for whole year.
Now company wants to recover service tax from client but clients are refusing to pay service tax since as per clients company was not registered for service tax till feb whereas services were provided before taking service tax registration( Suppose services were provided in Jan 2012 month).
Give your opinions friends what company has to do whether it can recover service tax from clients or not and what company has to do now.

Thanks & Regards
Mayank

My query is, liability to pay service tax against GTA is of supplier(supplier is individual) or company A ?

As per notification 15/2012, service tax on hiring of motor is to be paid by both ie. service provider & service receiver as well. There is some percentage mentioned in the said notification. Also it is applicable where service receiver is a company and service provider is Individual/HUF/Firm. My queries are as follows
1. If my company takes service of hiring of motor car from individual who is not liable to service tax i.e his gross revenue is less than 9/10 lacs pa. then is only service receiver is liable to pay the service tax at the given percentage or he is not liable to pay service tax since service provider is not liable?
2. If my company takes service of hiring of motor car from individual who is registered under service tax and if he charges 12.36% service tax in the bill. Then how much should I pay him because as per notification service tax payable by service provider is limited to some percentage so he can not charge me entire service tax.
I hope i am clear with my queries. Please reply.
