14 September 2012 Applicable rate of service tax is 12.36%.

If the service provider is a company the whole amount of service tax has to be collected and paid by the service provider only.

If the company is an individual or firm, then reverse charge is applicable and 75% of the liability is to be paid by the service recipient.

14 September 2012 Agree with Mr. Siddhartha,
Rate is 12.36% but reverse charge is applicable only if both the considtions as mentioned below are satisfied-
Service receiver is not a Company and also Service Provider is a body corporate.
If these are satisfied then Service receiver shall pay 75% of service tax and Service provider shall pay 25% od service tax.
