Service tax liability paid by the your company is valid in law. total amount paid to dealer has to be treated as service charges and company has to pay service tax additionaly to dealer.since this is an indirect tax there is no problem in doing this.
indirect taxes, tax has to be borne by the service receiver. this is valid contract and also nothing different from normal contracts

i think you wrongly understood my query.
the problem is like my client is "A" an authorised car dealer of maruti. service tax liability of "A" is paid by maruti. now whether this payment is valid or "A" is liable to discharge its service tax liability.

Under Finance Act, 1994 there is no provision to transfer service tax liability from service provider to service receiver except for few services prescribed under Rule 2(d)of Service Tax Rules, 1994 read with section 68 of the Act. Therefore, here you are liable to pay service tax liability not marauti. will try to get back to you with some judgment. if there is any enquiry is going on, not pay service tax.

Dealer has to pay service tax liability out of the money received from Maruti Suzuki. or Maruti Suzuki directly can pay service tax amount in your service tax registration. generally many multinational companies would follow this practice to avoid any problem while taking credit for the service tax liability. if Maruti suzuki claims that it would pay as a service receiver(i.e.in their name and filing return mentioning the services received) then it is wrong.
Another point of view is that, maruthi may be correct if dealer is treated as an agent (i.e. Principal and Agent relationship). in this case maruthi may pay service tax treating it self as an principal.
