As per Rule 2 of Service Tax Rules:
in case of sponsorship fees, service tax is to be paid by the person who is liable to pay the sponsorship fees.
If we have paid the sponsorship fees, then we are liable for the paymnt of service tax on behalf of the service provider.
My question is that
1. if we are liable to pay the service tax , then whether we have to pay service tax separately with separate challan?

2. what document are required to be givent o the service provider to make him assure that we have deposited the service tax on his behalf?
