My questions are as per below:

1. As per service tax reverse charge mechanism should we are still lible to pay Service Tax on 75% of bill value.

2. For other services of reverse charge also if provider charge  service tax on 100% value, then we will be libale or not for receiver portion.

3. In case of man power supply if receiptent is not a company but the provider is individual, reverse charge mechanism will apply or not.

If liable under reverse charge you would be liable on 75%, even where the SP has charged full. You may pay him only 25% and ask him only to charge 25% in future.

You wouldbeeligible for the credit on amount paid by him and yourslef.

If you are also not liable [ individual etc] then youneed not pay on reverse charge and the SP has to charge on gross amount. However it is not your responsibility if SP does not pay or pays only on 25%.
