Debate on Reverse Charge Mechanism for Manpower Supply: Is Service Tax Applicable Without Contractor Invoices? A discussion on a forum addresses whether a company falls under the reverse charge mechanism (RCM) for manpower supply services. The company pays labor charges to a contractor without receiving a bill, and deducts PF, depositing it under its code. Responses vary: one suggests RCM applies, requiring contractors to register and pay service tax; another argues RCM doesn't apply if laborers are on the company's payroll. Further replies discuss the implications of not issuing invoices, the nature of employer-employee relationships, and the applicability of service tax based on the relationship between the company and laborers.
