Dear Fellow members Namaskar,
I am working as a DDO in Govt. office and we have deployed an outsourcing agency to provide manpower (non-skilled/semi-skilled). the agency charges us Service Tax @ 12% + 2% Edu. Cess & 1% Secondary Edu. Cess on the Gross amount of the bill. After paying them service tax, we demand proofs of submission of service Tax from the Agency.
The agency is submitting Form G.A.R-7 for Service Tax Payments which shows the total service tax paid by the agency in a particular month. But this form contains the total amount submitted by the agency for all its contracts going on i.e.: which also includes contracts going on in other offices. However we need to know is that whether the Outsourcing agency has submitted the amount of Service tax paid by us to them. How should we ensure that the agency submits the service tax actually and submits us proper poofs of submission of service tax in our office's name?
