Person 'X' is unregistered or small service provider & providing service under service category 'Work contract service', our private limited company is the service receipient
As per work contract service defination & reverse charge notification the service provider as well as receiver has to pay 50% of the service tax liability
but in this case the service provider is 'unregistered or small service provider' therefore the confusion lies whether we pay 50% or 100% service tax under reverse charge mechanism
