Our company normally order for printing of some type of forms, Booklet, Newsletter from one of the printer (Who is a partnership firm).
Printer uses their own material(papers) & print them according to our company's instructions. Further he charges MVAT on total invoice amount.
My Question is, whether Our Company is liable to pay service tax on above printing works under RCM.

The printing work carried by your printer falls under the category of works contract.Service tax on same is payable under reverse charge as the S.P is a partnership firm and S.R (your company) is a business entity registered as body corporate.
