965 views 1 replies

One of State Government Department has received engineering consultancy from a company based in france which has no office in India. Now as we know in case iof mport of services under the reverese charge mechanism, the receipent of the service in India is made liable to pay the service tax. Please comment whether in case of Government Department, the charge of service tax should be on them or not ?

The payment of service tax on reverse charge in my knowledge does not exclude anybody. The Manufacturer/ Trader/ Charitable/ Political / Government are all covered. They should register or at least seek the clarification from the CBEC/ TRU on the same if not clear on the same.

Warm Regards
