In this case the liability to pay service tax rests on the service recipient as per Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM). The amount liable for tax i.e. taxable value will be 50000*40% = 20000/- On this amount service tax @ 12.36% will have to be paid amounting to Rs. 2472/- Kindly have a combined reading of not. 26/2012 and the provisions of RCM as per Not. 15/2012.
