23 March 2013 Dear Sanjeev,

In case of liability under Reverse charge Mechanism, service recipient is required to pay Service Tax to the Department and not to the service provider. But in case service tax has already been paid which is not correct legally, it should not be paid again as it is a revenue neutral situation. However, the Department may litigate on the same.

Thanks & regds
