A Govt. company has awarded the work of legal consultancy to a Law firm. In the work allotment order it has been mentioned that fees is inclusive of all taxes and duties. Later the law firm submitted their bills for full amount of the contract value after completion of work. The applicable due service tax under RCM on invoice value was paid by the Govt. company to service tax and also makes the payment to the law firm after deduction of applicable TDS on invoice value.

Later, during audit the same has been found that the contract price is inclusive of all taxes. As such auditors has asked why the due taxes was not deducted from invoice.

Since the duty of payment of taxes is of the service recipient as such whether the organisation can claim the taxes paid as service tax from the service provider as because the same is mentioned in the contract allotment letter.

I have stopped my business from December 2015.( within one month of taking service tax)

My questions:
1. I have received notice in August 2019, I am confuse / fear to approach service tax department, do I wait for second letter from service tax department. I have heard there is too much of harresment from dept. Few have suggested me wait and watch.

2. What experts suggest?,
