In manpower supply services , if the service provider charges service tax at 12.36% (i.e at full 100%), then is the service receiver still required to pay 75% of the service tax ?

do not pay to the provider whole 100%, as he has to deposit only 25% and your liability don't shift if he pay even 100%. so better to avoid litigation, pay your liability directly to government.
but please consider the conditions of revers charge, whether you falling under the RCM or not. like you must be a body corporate he must be a individual/huf/partnership/prop/aop.

if he already paid. don't pay as there is a recent judgement in which the decision came in favor.. but as the judgement was on HC level, better to convince the provider by showing him the provisions of law for only paying his liability in future.. as u never know when judgement gets overruled.
