07 September 2013 Dear All,

One of my service providers are not charging the service tax on the bills and services provided to us. Amounting would be approx 20 to 25 lacs.

Having said above as a service receiver should i have any liability on the above default for under service tax act.

What is my course of action now as a auditor. Bill has already processed and paid??
