RCM is not applicable. You are to pay 100 % ST. Govt. is neither a business entity not body corporate.

Yes the issue was discussed in detail.

The querist should understand reverse charge is applicable only if the conditions as prescribed in the Notification No. 30/2012-ST as updated from time to time is satisfied. If the condition is satisfied then service provider is not liable to pay tax but the receiver of service shall pay as if he is a service provider. In the situation mentioned by the querist the condition for reverse charge is not satisfied hence reverse charge provision is not applicable so service provider is liable to discharge service tax. Now the proportion of service tax payable by the service provider is what querist is concern about. The querist should understand that Government has prescribed that 15% Service tax (including sbc and kkc) should reach the government kitty. Reverse means the liability of 15% was divided in a proportion that 75% was payable by service receiver and balance 25% payable by provider of service. Now after 01.05.2015 the proportion was set aside and provider of service was relieved from the duty of paying his portion of service tax i.e. 25% tax shall also be paid by service receiver which means service receiver has to pay 100% tax . Now this method is applicable only when the condition of reverse charge is satisfied , as mentioned above. If the condition are not satisfied then service receiver is not at all responsible to share the responsibility of paying some portion of service. Thus service provider is liable to pay 100% tax i.e. 15%. Thanks.

Already replied. Why are you not convinced ? If you are not convinced with any reply of the experts, you may engage any advocate or C.A. or some consultant. Law is very much clear.

Dear Querist,. Without going through terms and conditions of the contract, it is not possible to comment.
