Manpower Supply Service & Reverse Charge
PrintANALYSIS OF REVERSE CHARGE MECHANISM IN RESPECT OF MANPOWER SUPPLY SERVICES OR SECURITY SERVICES
(Before proceeding further please read the disclaimer at the bottom of this write up)
Now 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. This article will clarify that when services tax is payable by both the service provider as well as services receiver and when it is payable by service provider only.
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:
TABLE SHOWING EXTENT OF SERVICE TAX PAYABLE BY SERVICE PROVIDER AND SERVICE RECIVER:
|
S. NO. |
SERVICE PROVIDER |
SERVIVE RECEIVER |
EXTENT OF SERVICE TAX PAYABLE BY |
|
|
|
|
|
SERVICE PROVIDER |
SERVICE RECEIVER |
|
1 |
Any individual, HUF or partnership firm or association of persons |
DO |
100% |
NIL |
|
2 |
Any individual, HUF or partnership firm or association of persons |
Body Corporate |
25% |
75% |
|
3 |
Body Corporate |
Any individual, HUF or partnership firm or association of persons |
100% |
NIL |
|
4 |
Body Corporate |
Body Corporate |
100% |
NIL |
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.
RELEVANT DEFINITIONS
1. “supply of manpower”means supply of manpower, temporarily or otherwise, to another person to work under his superintendence or control.’
2. "security services"means services relating to the security of any property, whether movable or immovable, or of any person, in any manner and includes the services of investigation, detection or verification, of any fact or activity;"
