The problem is Commission Agent collects SERIVE TAX on behalf of his client(serive provider) and remitts whole amount to the service provider. But Serive Provider has not remitted it to govt. and asking Commission Agent to remmit service tax to govt. for that client is gonna reimburse to Agent only Service Tax amount. Now, Is Commission Agent is liable to pay this service tax with interest?
My opinion is, as agent is collecting service tax under client name and remmits to him so he is not at all liable to pay Serive Tax and it is the Serive Provider's liability to pay Serivce Tax to Govt.
Tell me, is my view point is correct, if not what is the remedy now for Commission Agent?
