01 August 2014 We are the Pvt Ltd Company and we are getting house keeping service from one agency (Sole proprietor).

As per the ST reverse charge rules, the agency charging 25% of the Service Tax (3.09%)in their invoice, and the agency is requesting us to pay remaining 75% of ST (9.27%)to the dept.

My question here is. We are not registered under service tax, because it is not applicable for our business, still is it necessary to pay 75% of Service tax? how can we pay the Service tax, when it is not applicable for us.? please help me.
