09 December 2015 we are service receiver. And no service tax is shown on invoice given by foreign party. We are advised to pay it on basis of Reverse Charge Mechanism.

09 December 2015 Under reverse charge mechanism you are liable to pay service tax to Govt when service provider is foreigner. Foreign party will not claim any service tax in the invoice.
