10 June 2009There are 2chartered accountant firms X & Y. X gets the clients to Y. Y carries out all the work & signs the audit report by himself. Y bills it to X.X bills the same amount to the client. The appointment letter is in the name of X. So for whom is the service tax applicable? whether to X or to Y or to both?
Here X is not doing any other work except getting the client to Y.
Pls clarify regarding this if any1 has any idea...

Is it happens Sushma?? If yes, then both of them r liable to service tax. X will charge to the client & y will charge to X. In turn, X will take credit of service tax as an input service.

Hi Satish,
Say the amount of fees is Rs.10,000/-. At 10% service tax, the net amount receivable by Y is Rs. 9,000/- & what abt X? will he get input credit of Rs.1,000/- on Rs.10,000?
In that case, X will have a benefit to the extent of service tax portion for every client right?

To Sushma,
Both will be liable for service tax on their own billings however if there total billing for the year (TAKING SEPARATELY)is below Rs.10 lac they both can get away with it i.e. there is no need for them to charge service tax

Hi Sushma, it seems there is some confusion in ur mind. After completion of work Y will charge to X, Rs. 10000+1030 (service tax thereon @ 10.30%). In turn, X will charge to the client, say 12000+1236 (service tax thereon @ 10.30%). When X will receive the money from client, his liability will be crystalised. Also when he pays to Y, he is entitle to avail and utilise cenvat credit. Y will pay to the government Rs. 1030 and X will pay to the governemnt (1236-1030) = 206. I hope u understood this example

hey satish,
There is no problem if X is billing more amount to client than what Y is charging to X. But the issue is Y is charging say Rs.10,000/- on X. X is also billing the client same amount. he is not charging anything extra as commission or something. then my question is why is X doing this? when he doesnot have any benefit. so there will be some benefit to X. what benefit is that. Is it evading any tax? that i want to know..

Why X would have done this business evenif there would not have been any service tax??? Nobody would have charged and X would have got just 10000 and he would have paid it to Y as it is. then why X should do this business?? you only answer keeping in view if there would not have been any tax on such services.
