If the payment of bill is not received yet and it is certain that it will not be received in future then in this case it become bad-debt for you and no specific provision regarding  bad-debt is given under POT and i think once you hav dewposited service tax u wil nt get any refund thereof. Further as the liability for payment of service tax is on service provider. So, u r liable forpayment of service tax..

I am sorry but i cannot understand the financial mumbo jumbo.  But i have a question which i would appreciate if someone can answer.

We are a foreign company who has been awarded a contract to provide services to a major company in oil & gas industry.  Being a foriegn company we were told that the Indian company will withhold 10% tax from the total invoice.  the service tax will be paid by the indian company @ 10.3%.

My question is, since we are a foreign company and the payments will be done directly to us outside India, can we claim part or full amount of tax that has been withheld by filing tax returns.  Do we need to get a PAN card for the company in order to do that based on the work order. I could not find any information on this and would appreciate if someone can help me in understanding it.
