Company receiving services from its directors and recipients of security services liable to pay service tax thereon – Security Services Defined
Security service has also been notified under reverse charge on which liability to pay service tax would be partly on service provider (25%) and partly on the service receiver(75%). This provision is applicable when service is provided by any individual, HUF, partnership firm or AOP to a business entity registered as body corporate. Now security service has specifically been defined whereby services of investigation, detection or verification are included.
