Taxation of services in India has been a learning experience for not only the tax payers but also the tax administrators. The gradual expansion of the list of taxable services from an initial three to more than one hundred has posed its own challenges. The Finance Act, 2012 has started to change this all and usher in a new system of taxation of services; popularly known as the Negative List.
At present there are 17 items in the negative list (Section 66 D of the Finance Act, 1994) and 39 items in the mega exemption notification 25/2012-ST dated 20.6.2012. Government has recently exempted more services from the purview of service tax.

The concept of reverse though important, has limited applicability in our day-to-day life. We are familiar with reversing a vehicle for limited purposes. A vehicle cannot be driven in reverse for moving forward. However, when it comes to levy of taxation it is not the case. Under the ST, till 30th June, 2012 the concept of levying tax on reverse charge (RC) had limited applicability as only few types of transactions were covered there under. With effect from 1st July, 2012 the things are going to change dramatically.
