charging & Collecting Service Tax without getting the oneself registered with the concenrned authority, is an offence. CENVAT credit will not available on such Invoices/Bills. Department can raise objections and raise the SCNs.

If the service provider is not register with the service tax department and claiming service tax from you, you just refuse to pay the amount of service tax to him. Further, if you smell some fraud in the activity, you may bring the facts before the department also.
