Service tax default

first of all,

since it is a company, reverse charge mechanism does not apply.

so there is no liability on service receiver.

and service receiver can take Credit based on bill submitted by  service provider and service receiver need not ensure that the service provider pays the same to central govt. the liability to pay the same lies on service provider only.

central govt, doesn't have any right to challenge service receiver for taking credit, if the service received has a valid bill document stating the details of service tax charged.

Agree with raja shekhar....the service receiver need not worry about payments or defaults made by service provider.

Agreed, the service receiver can take credit on the basis of the bills submited by the provider without worrying about the fact whether provider has deposited the money with the govt trasury or not.

Thank u friends,

my concern is that  they may have not deposited the collected tax, how can we make them to comply the law, dont' u think that we are encourging them to evade tax. i feel so.
