We have a GTA where they dont charge service tax on their bills. But they send us letter saying that they pay their service tax regularly and hence we, being service receiver are not required to pay the same again. I wanted to know is there is any provision where a service provider under RCM can opt to pay the service tax himself rather that the serrvice receiver. ?
