my company has received a bill from an advocate for profession fees ... as per the reverse charge mechanism i am supposed to pay service tax on the profession fees as a service recipient. but my query is .. if the service provider (advocate)has not crossed 10 lakhs .. i.e he is a small service provider.. then should i still pay service tax at 12.36 % of the fees >

Service provider (Advocate) have not liability to pay service tax on legal services. Service provider turnover will not count for SSI exemption.
