A Service Recipient is liable to pay tax under section 68(2) read with notification no. 30/2012 which is populary known as reverse charge. 

A Service Recipient is not allowed to utilize Cenvat Credit for payment of service tax on reverse charge. So, every service recipient has to pay service tax though GAR-7 Challan. However, subject to other conditions, if a service receiver is a provider of output service, he can take credit of service tax paid though GAR -7 under reverse charge, immediately after the payment on the basis of receipted GAR-7 Challan. The Cenvat Credit availed on above mentioned services can also be utilized against the tax payable on output services.
