16 August 2012 Dear Experts,
We r register under composite scheme of Service Tax under Works Contract Service(4.944%). Now after the rules of reverse charge mechanism(50% payable by Service provider and 50% payable by service receiver). after this rules we can collect only 50% of Service Tax from our client. My doubt is tht should we hv to pay remaining 50% from our pocket or what?? Please clarify this point...

thanks in Adv..

16 August 2012 Though composition scheme is abolished, the service tax works out to 4.944% for 40% of the contract value. 40% of 12.36 = 4.944.

Your liability is limited to 50% of the value and the rest of the turnover (i.e 50%) will be taken care by the service receiver. There is no need to pay from your side for the other 50% under reverse charge.

Hope it is clarified.
