31 December 2013 Dear Sir
Please note:
1.why is royalty taxable:As per Section 66E(c).
2.When is reverse charge applicable:When the service provider ( in your case the statutory body) is located in a non-taxable territory and service receiver( that is you) are located in a taxable territory.
Refference:Point (B) Notification No.30/2012.
3.If the statutory body is located in India in taxable territory then you just need to pay the invoice value inclusive of service tax to that statutory body and not to the service tax authority.

Hope this helps.
