What about the service tax charged in invoice by goods transport agency whereby transport expenses have been paid by supplier company and the same have been recovered from the customer company.

Who is liable to pay service tax to the government either the supplier company or the customer who actually bears the transport expense under reverse charge mechanism?

I want to ask if a consultant/Professional services provider raises an invoice including services tax. Can he reverse service tax in his books and pay full amount to his customer.

For e.g. if “A” company/Firm issued an invoice of amount 56180 (50000+ stax-6180 =56180) in Apr’12 to “B” an individual, for services and assures him if he is not able to complete the task in future. He will refund complete fees to “B”, which “A”is not able to complete in say February’13(Same F/y). So can “A” refund “B” full amount of invoice i.e.56180 and reverse service tax amount in his books as adjustment/sales return or Is “A” can refuse to pay service tax part amount to “B”, saying that he had deposited the amount with government (Service tax deptt.)?

Can Clarify I have two queries:----
1. is Service recipient is required to register himself in ST Department if Service Tax liabilities comes on him on reverse Charge?

2. if i allredy registered as a service Provider do i need to take register again?

i wants to know whether we can avail service tax credit for payment of service tax to director and Advocate

Dear Expert

Kindly advise

1) As per new rules of service tax, Is Service tax applicable on the Indian Company who is a rep. and distributor of a foreign company. Indian company gets commission in US Dollars from the foreign principal company towards marketing/promoting its products to customers in India.

2)If service tax is applicable then how would its invoice be made as commission received is in USD.


Kindly confirm on above and oblige.



Thanks and Best Regards
