Company liable to pay service tax on services received from its directors & Recipients of security services to discharge 75% of service tax liability
Company receiving services from the directors are being brought into tax net as new Notification No. 45/2012-ST, dated 7-8-2012 has clarified that in respect of services provided by the directors to company, liability to pay service tax would be on the company under reverse charge. Companies would be required to pay service tax on gross amount paid to directors. However, question arises whether all payments made by the company to directors would be covered by above reverse charge provisions.
In our view, services provided by directors as employee in the course of employer- employee relationship would not be covered by the said provision as employer-employee relationship activities are already excluded from the definition of service itself under section 65B (44) of the Finance Act.

would director having full time employment is covered under this ?
Finance Act,1994, defining the service, exempted services of employees to employer from service tax. If so, how the Government bring the services of directors, when they are emplyees, into service tax perview by specific notification in contravention of Finance Act,1994 when the Government is obliged to impement the Law as approved by Parliament, of course, with harmonious powers. Therefore, I am of the opinion that the said notification bringing directors services into service tax perview would not stand before judiciary.

Greetings !
There is a query on service tax matter, to which I find YOU are the best person to ask for:
” SERVICE TAX LIABILITY on school buses carrying children, when transportation charges are collected by school. School buses are registered in the name of school but owned by contractor. Contractor is being paid by school on monthly basis for ferrying school children. Questions are:
1. If service tax is applicable or not ?
2. If yes, then payable by school or contractor ?
3. If basis exemption limit of Rs. 10.00 lacs is applicable per contractor?
Hope to get the reply soon.
