Reverse Charge Mechanism in service tax is not a new concept. Under this scheme, service tax is payable by service recipient instead of service provider . Under this charge service receiver have to register himself under service tax . Further service receiver can not claim general exemption limit of 10 Lakh rupees. So he has to pay even on few rupees of service received
It will be very harsh on service receiver end where he has received services falls under reverse charge for only few hundred rupees but due to it he has to register himself in service tax and have to file service tax return on prescribed interval.Moreover under service tax act Nil return is also mandatory and every registered person have to file half yearly return
However, this reverse charge under above mentioned three services will be applicable only if, the service provider of these 3 services is an Individual or HUF or Proprietary or partnership firm or AOP and the service receiver is a Company registered under Companies Act, 1956
