Dear Sir
I am co-owner of a partnership firm and our firm is registered with service tax.
One of our clients which is a LIMITED company, paid their service tax to us for FY 2008 and on their behalf, my firm paid that amount to the service tax department. We have the challan of the tax paid and all the necessary evidences of the same.
Now the service tax department is claiming the said amount from my client. The service tax department sent us a letter some months back asking for the details of the same. We have replied to them immediately. The service tax department has accepted that the amount has been received by them. They are saying that we have to claim for the refund of the same and then my client will have to pay the amount.
Kindly guide as to what needs to be done and what is the procedure.
