Let us explain it in detail. Know when and where it is applicable. The post gives you full details on the service tax reverse charge.
As per service tax rules, every service provider collects the service tax. The service provider ultimately pays the tax to the authorities.
The reverse mechanism was introduced at a later stage in 2012. With this alteration, the receiver of the service is also responsible for filing a return and paying this tax. However, not all service receivers are liable to pay service tax. Here is a list of the services that come under the purview of the reverse charge mechanism.
Here is a list of the services where the service receiver is liable to pay the charges under the reverse mechanism.
When the reverse service tax mechanism is working, the small service provider exemption is not applicable. The receiver of the service has to get registration under the reverse charge mechanism regardless of the liability of the payment.
However, there are few services that are only partially covered under the reverse charge system. It is mandatory to pay the service charge by the receiver within 6 months from the date of payment.
The main purpose of the service tax reverse charge mechanism was to increase tax compliance and revenues. It was difficult for the government to collect service tax from certain unorganized sectors. The reverse service charge mechanism eliminated those restrictions.
