You are required to remit service tax at the time of payment since point of taxation in that case will be payment to the service provider. Accordingly, if you make payment in august then you will have to remit ST on or before 07 september

Yes, you have to pay the service tax on 75% of the security bills under reverse charge. By the by, whether the security agency has collected tax on 25% of the bill or not?

But by the time the invoice was raised there was no such notification.So, isnt it that service tax on the payment made on such bills(whose invoice is raised before 07/08/12)should be discharged entirely by service provider.

But the notification was introduced on 07/08/12.So, the bills raised before this should be out of the purview of this notification as by the time the invoice was raised, this notification was not into force.

If the service provider himself paid the tax 100%, in my opinion, there will not be any liability for the service receiver. In your query, you have not mentioned the collection of tax 100% by the Service provider.
