we are a construction company & have sub-contracted our work to a sub contractor now the ques is :

Ques: No service Tax is being charged by the sub-contractor as they are not registered with service tax. We have paid around 8 lacs to some contractor during 13-14 & deducted TDS from them but they have not got themselves registered with service tax. Can we be held responsible for this ? and what all implications are there in the given case ??
