Answer / k r jaya kumar

The service provider is liable to register under Service
Tax Rules and collect service tax at the presribed rates
from the customers by billing to the customer for the
service rendered. The service tax collected to be deposited
with Govt.(Service Tax Dept.) on a quaterly basis or
monthly basis depends on the constitution of the
firm/company.
