Dear Sir,

We are paying service tax under reverse charge mechanism. Generally GTA doesnt charge service tax in their invoice. We pay to them their fee and deposits service tax @ 3.09%

We have received one invoice in which service tax is charged by GTA in their invoice.
Invoice is as follows.

Fee                 = Rs 1000.00
Service Tax @ 3.09% = Rs   30.90
Total               = Rs. 1030.90

We have paid them Rs. 1030.90.

Do we have liability to pay service tax under reverse charge even we have paid to GTA.?
