02 November 2012 The crux is "Who is liable to pay the service tax?" you or party. The answer will decide the course of action as to whether to claim refund or carry forward the credit or else.

02 November 2012 The problem is that we have already paid service tax on behalf of party & now party says they will pay service tax & accordingly have not paid service tax to us.

03 November 2012 That is ok. My concern is who is liable to pay....service provider OR service receiver? Assuming it to be service provider..... You can prove the BAD debts to the service tax officer and get the credit carried forward.
