Hi,

My company which is in online content writing business availed rent a cab service from another company involved in renting cabs services.  In the invoice the service provider has charged Service Tax @ 40% i.e. after claiming abatement of 60%.  Now as a service receipient what is my liability?  M in need to pay that service tax amount to service provider and claim credit in my books or to directly pay that amount to the credit of government without paying service tax amount charged in invoice to the service provider.  Please guide.

Thanks

Ritika
