Reverse charge mechanism in service tax

Whether  Reverse Charge Mechanism In Service Tax is applicable to any Society (Registered under Society Registration Act) who is  Service Receiver for availing Security services at its office.

Rakesh,

Reverse charge mechanism works where the service receiver is a Body Corporate. Section 65(14) of Finance Act 1994 provides that Body Corporate has the meaning assigned under section 2(7) of Companies Act 1956.

I believe a Society registered under Societies Registration Act is not a Body Corporate. Therefore reverse charge mechanism will not apply. The receiver will pay the service tax to provider who in turn will deposit to Govt.

Regards,
