For fact 1: Company A is not liable to pay service tax as it is not receiving any consideration (which is one of the primary requirement for levy of service tax) against services provided by it, on the other side company B is not liable to pay tax as it had entered with company A for revenue sharing agreement which is not covered by service tax (As per circular issued by department in February 2009).
