I (Private Limited Company) provide the GTA service to the various client by hiring trucks by third party. Some of our client does not have Service tax registration. So they demand that provide us the bill in which you charge the service tax @ 4.5%. Is it possible to charge service tax from service receiver under reverse mechanism?? If possible then how can I billing the same and shown in Service tax return???
