ANALYSIS OF REVERSE CHARGE MECHANISM IN RESPECT OF MANPOWER SUPPLY SERVICES OR SECURITY SERVICES DATED 31.05.2015
 
(Before proceeding further please read the disclaimer at the bottom of this write up)
 
As we all know that after introduction of negative list approach, in respect of above services, service tax is payable by both the service provider as well as services receiver. However it is not applicable in all cases.
 
Now along with Finance Act 2015 some changes has been made in respect RCM on manpower supply services or security services.
 
In this article we are trying to show position of service receiver and service provider after amendment in NN 30/2012 dated 20^th June, 2012 by NN 07/2015 dated 01/03/2015 w.e.f. 01/04/2015.
 
As per sub clause (v) of clause (I) of NN-30/2012 ST dated 20.06.2012 read with s.no. 8 of Table of NN-30/2012 ST dated 20.06.2012, we can conclude as under:
 
Service tax liability of Service Provider and Service Receiver up to 31/03/2015
 
TABLE SHOWING EXTENT OF SERVICE TAX PAYABLE BY SERVICE PROVIDER AND SERVICE RECIVER:

 
Thus it is clear from above table that only in one case 75% service tax is payable by service receiver and not in all cases i.e. when service provider is any individual etc and service receiver is body corporate.
 
Service tax liability of Service Provider and Service Receiver WEF 01/04/2015

 
Thus it is clear from above table that only in one case 100% service tax is payable by service receiver and not in all cases i.e. when service provider is any individual etc and service receiver is body corporate.
