Hi all, I have a small issue in payment of service tax. If a person who is providing exempted services accept one work order (Purchase Order) in which it is quoted as amount is inclusive of Service Tax. Now the person who is providing exempted services has liable to pay service tax? Thanks in advance..

No, the service tax in your case would be Nil because you are exempted from service tax ( as you mentioned), irrespective of the fact that the Purchase order was quoted as inclusive of service tax. Also note that you can't collect ST just because the order was inclusive of ST, when you are not suppose to liable for service tax. You have to mention in your invoice that ST is Nil.
