19 November 2014 1. In case of reverse charge all duties & responsibilities lie with the service recipient.

The service recipient has to get himself registered with the service tax authorities, pay tax on services availed & file the return.

20 November 2014 1. Notification number 25/2012 (Mega exemption notification) exempts services provided by an individual as an advocate or a partnership firm of advocates by way of legal services to, inter alia, a business entity with a turnover up to rupees ten lakh in the preceding financial year.

2. You have to check your turnover in the PRECEDING financial year. If your turnover in the PRECEDING year does not exceed Rs. 10 lakhs, then you are not required to pay service tax on services availed from lawyer during the current year.
