Sir,
In reverse charge mechanism under service tax, a service receiver must be a body corporate and a service provider shall be an individual/AOP/HUF/Partnershi Firm. But what is the position when a service provider is a limited company and a service receiver is a registered partnership firm which is not clarified the concerned notification of the department.
I sincerely seek an academic help in this context.
With sincere regards.
