I had one query one of my friend had taken the franchise(distributorship) of DTH. He had been registered under the service tax act as franchise as the officer of the DTH provider said. He just install the dish for the DTH provider & also distributes the same along with e-recharge (known word for the same is as LAFO). On which the DTH provider himself charged the service tax on the same and which is collected by him and deposit it to the DTH provider. Now my question is whether he is liable to pay the service tax ? And if not then can the service tax authority cancel his registraton on the ground that he need not to pay the service tax so he do not require the registration for the same? with best regards!
