02 September 2009 Query regarding non payment of service tax by client :

A raised a bill on B.

For instance, bill total value is Rs.27575/-, which consists of Rs.25000/- plus ST 10.3% Rs.2575/-.

B made payment of Rs.25000/- only without making ST payment of Rs.2575/-.

Now, A is unable to collect the balance Rs.2575/- pertaining to Service Tax from B.

Under the above circumstances, whether A has obligation to pay on his professional fees realised Rs.25000/- to Service Tax Department.

It may be noted that A has not received from B the amount Rs.2575/- pertaining to Service Tax.

Looking forward to receive the response on the matter.
