Dear Prosanta,
In above three case reverse charge is applicable only in case
Service Provider is : Individual, Proprietor, Partnership Firm, LLP, AOP
and
Service Recipient is a Company or Body Corporate.
Therefore, claim of Service Tax Auditor that in these cases reverse charge is applicable where provider is corporate.
However, in case service provider is outside India, then all the cases recipient is liable to pay services tax under reverse charge (Import of Services)
