Dear Mr. Pradeep,

There is no any circular where service receiver is not required to pay service tax under reverse charge mechanism. In other words, service receiver is required to pay service tax under reverse charge u/s 68(2) read with Rule 2(i)(d)(v).

However, there is one Notification No. 30/2012-ST dt. 20-06-2012 under which out of various services where reverse charge is applicable, there are few services where there is bifurcation of payment of service tax between service receiver and service provider under the notified percentage.
