14 January 2012 In above case it is the responsibility of taxi operator to collect service tax and deposit the same as per provision of Finance Act, 1994. If he is not doing so then you are not responsible to pay the same.

25 January 2012 In that department will not ask you to deposit service tax. Only taxi owner is responsible for deposit of same. However if you are going to take CENVAT credit in respect of same you should keep proper detail of taxi owner like name, address , service tax number etc.
