12 September 2012 If service provider does not charge service tax in invoice and he is not registered under service tax i.e. ST No. not quoted in invoice, it can be assumed that it is not availing input credit. Covered: Hiring passenger cars, cabs, buses etc. Excluded: Radio taxi, metered cab, three wheeler, auto rickshaw, stage carrier, contract carriage and packaged tour, public transport not predominantly for tourism purpose e.g. Meru cabs, bus having contract permit hired for transportation of employees.

On Abated Value - 100% 12.36
on Non Abated Value - 40% is Your Liablity

12 September 2012 1. All the above services are covered under reverse charge.

2. The status of the service provider is a sole proprietor. Accordingly reverse charge is applicable.
The fact that the service provider is not registered makes no difference.

3. Abatement of 60% is available.

4. Service tax to be paid = Hire charges*40%*12.36%
