There is no exemption other than the small providers (< 10 lakhs turnover). This is only in the hands of the PROVIDER of service and not the recepient. Recepient of service liable to pay service tax gets no exemption. For purpose of calculating the turnover of service provider, for whatever payment the recepient bears the tax, that turnover is excluded. Only whatever payments for which tax responsibility is that of provider is included and he gets his SSI exemption.
