HI praven
General rule : service tax should be paid on the gross amount received so make back calculations and find out the service tax amount due on amount received from service receiver.
Answer for your ques,
invoicing way of Co.B is correct as the Co. A is not disclosing the amount of service tax involved in Rs.50000
It Should be assumed the amount of Rs.50000 per day is paid against the services
as it is paid due to the services taken so it should be inculded in the service charges and liable for service tax.
I think Co.A is doing the invoicing in such a way as it assumes that the amount of Rs.50000 is not provided against the services so not liable for service tax.
Note: Service tax is the liability of service provider so co.A should not provide any interreption as if the service tax amount is more in the bill then that is the loss of Co.B as the gross amount bill is same.
