With respect to your following statement:- 2. If Pvt. Ltd. company provides the service of 'Manpower Supply,' liability of ST will be on Service Receiver i.e. your c lient. I think the private limited company will charge ST in their bills and my client has to pay it. Reverse charge is not applicable here.

Input Service credit is allowed for service portion only i.e Architect Services, finishing, Repair, renovation, alteration etc. Input service credit is not admissible for construction of building, part thereof, laying of foundation, structure for support of capital goods etc. .....

In this situation, neither RCM is applicable nor benefit of Notification No.24/12-ST is available .100% ST is to be paid by the Contractor or Subcontractor who provides service on the value of pure labour. Input service credit is available for output service only. - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = In continuation of my reply dated 2.6.16, I add that su .....

It is natural that if sub-contractor pays ST, the main contractor would avail input service credit. Thus it would be revenue neutral but this does not change the character of ST paid. Being Director of the company is a separate issue. This scenario has no effect. - Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani - ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X .....
