In case of Supply of Manpower Service, reverse charge is applicable w.e.f 01-07-2012 vide NN-30/2012.
If the Supply of Manpower service is provided by an individual/proprietary firm, partnership firm, HUF or AOP AND the service recipient is a business entity registered as BODY CORPORATE, only then joint reverse charge is applicable.
In case of joint reverse charge, as in manpower supply (25:75), the liability of service provider and service recipient is independent of each other. Even if the service provider is claiming basic exemption of Rs. 10 Lacs vide NN-33/2012, the service recipient must get itself registered and pay tax on 75% value, as the basic exemption is not available to the service recipient.
Also note the due date for payment:
So, assuming that the Manpower Supply service recipient is a body corporate and the provider is not a company, then the point of taxation shall be the date of payment to the service provider (Rule 7 of POT Rules, 2012). However, if the payment is not made with 6 months from the date of invoice, then the
point of taxation shall be the date of invoice (if invoice issued with 30 days of completion of service) otherwise the date of completion of service.
The due date for payment of tax to the CG shall be 6th of the following month where point of taxation occurs in case of e-payment.
