01 December 2012 Yes.. reverse charge is applicable irrespective of whether the service provider is liable for service tax or not.

01 December 2012 The liability of the service provider and service recipient are different and independent.

The service recipient is liable to pay service tax under reverse charge even if the service provider is not so liable.

The exemption is only for the service provider and not the service recipient.
