For companies liable to pay ST on RCM, time limit to register is 30 days from the date of arising of such liability

Yes The company has not liabilty of paying the service tax on RCM basis as the applicabilty of Service Tax Provisions will be held only when it is registered under the Service Tax.Until and unless the company is regidtered under service tax the provisions of the so will not be applicable. 

But if the company have applied for registration and mean while the respective liabilty has occured then the company is liable to pay ST on RCM basis.

Mr. Hari Sripada,

As per the Section 68(2) read with Rule 2(1)(d) of service tax rules, 1994. Further you may have to refer 30/2012 service tax as amended from time to time.

These above provisions which creates liability under RCM

Few importants points to be noted.

1)The service receiver is eligible to avail cenvat credit of service tax paid providided if the same is eligible

2) He is liable independently from Rs.1/- and not eligible for SSP exemptin under 33/2012 ST
