Whether an 100% Eou company is liable to pay service tax on services obtained by it?

Dear Friend,

Ordinarily the person rendering the service is liable to pay the tax to the government. He is entitled to collect it from his customer. Presently, there is no exemption to the services provided to 100% EOUs.

However, the EOU would be entitled to avail Credit of the tax paid, if the service is an "input service" for him. If it cannot utilise the credit, it is entitled to refund under Rule 5 of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004.

Pls also remember that in case of certain services, the receiver of the service/ person paying for the service is liable to pay the tax (to the government) .

Thanks,
Sanjay Dwivedi
