This query is : Resolved
One of my client has received the Demand notice from Service tax Department. He is not the service provider but service receiver.The case is:
Mr A takes service from Mr B residing abroad for printing the ads of Mr. C in foreign Magazine. Mr A remitted foreign exchange on behalf of Mr. C to Mr. B. Now the service tax department has issued notice to Mr A to pay service tax on import of service from 2008-2010.
Now the query is whether Mr A is liable to pay service tax and whether advertisement given in print media i.e. magazines exempt.
Please reply at the earliest and thanks in advance.

Mr. A is liable to deduct TDS from the payment made to B.
