01 December 2012 The service recipient will have to discharge his liability even if service tax is not payable by the service provider.

However, the service can avail benefit of any abatement available in respect of such services.

Accordingly, your liability will be 4.944%.

01 December 2012 If the Service receiver is not liable for service tax then it is obviuous that he is not claimimg any abatement as such.
Accordingly, you are liable for 40% of service tax under reverse charge i.e 40% of (Rs. 100*12.36%) i.e Rs. 4.944.
The Service provider is liable for the balance of Rs. 7.416 only if he is not SSI and not taking any abatement.
