Clarifying Service Tax Obligations: Reverse Charge Mechanism for J&K Providers vs. Taxable Territory Providers' Responsibilities A discussion on the taxability of services involves queries about service tax obligations for providers in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) and other taxable territories. The first scenario involves a service provider in J&K offering services to a taxable territory, where the service receiver is responsible for paying the tax under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM). In the second scenario, a provider from a taxable territory offers services in J&K, where the provider must pay the service tax. It is noted that service tax laws do not apply in J&K, but they do in other regions, with a typical rate of 15%.
