26 March 2009 i have provided services as subsubcontractor in the year 05-06 in which there is no clarification that weather subsub contractor is required to pay service tax or not and on the same hand my subcontractor had paid the same on my behalf in that respective year but if a circular regarding clarification of the same issued in the year 2007 that sub sub contractor is required to pay the same weather the same can be sustainable for the case of 05-06 that is issued after a year or so.

03 April 2009 There were circulars issued in 1997/98 which stated that as long as the principal is paying the service tax under the same catgeory, the suib contractor is not liable.
This was rescinded in 2007 23rd August vide circular 98.
Therefore if you principal had paid there is no liability.
