11 October 2014 Dear Sir,

If you read section 68 then you will see that liability of provider and receiver is separately defined. The sub section (1) of section 68 talk about liability of service provider and sub section (2) of section 68 talks about liability of service receiver. Therefore, the liability of two are exclusive of each other. I cannot be assumed that if the service provider did not disposed off his liability then service receiver is to be held liable to pay.

hence, you are liable to pay your portion of service tax only i.e. 50%.

Thanks & Regards
