The lawyer has provided the service for the First quarter i.e, April to June 2013. He gave me a bill on 01.07.2013. I accounted the same on 14.07.2013. Now I want to know that my liability against payment of service tax under reverse charge. Is there any difference in date of payment of service tax when we make the provision of legal fees payable on 30.06.2013 for the service provided by the lawyer for that quarter for which I had not recieved a bill?

w.e.f. 17.03.2012 till 30.06.2012 the recipient of service was liable to pay the service tax in respect of services provided or agreed to be provided by individual advocate if the recipient was a business entity.
