Taxes are payable or not

that all taxes as applicable to the licensor and licencee will be payable by themselves. i am the licencee there

Since these are indirect taxes and are applicable to the service receiver .please suggest wether i am in a position to receive the taxes or not

Hi Vikas, 

Generally the liability to pay indirect taxes lies on the collector of such taxes or the service provider. So even if the receipient does not agree to pay taxes, the service provider has to has to calculate tax (reverse calculation) and pay taxes to govt as prescribed. 

However there is some relief by virtue of this case law.

All India Tax Payers Welfare Association vs. UOI (2006) 5 STT 136 = (4) STR 14 (Mad HC DB)

It was held as follows;

Service tax is an indirect tax. Though liability is on the service provider, the tax can be collected by him from the service receiver.
