Applicability of Service tax

This query is : Resolved 

06 October 2009 I need to know that service tax is applicable for fee for appearing before the Income tax for releasing the seized documents. Thanks.

06 October 2009 The proviso to sub clause (zzzzm) of clause (105) of section 65 of the Finance Act'1994(with reference to legal services) read as under : -


"Provided that any service provided by way of appearance before any court, tribunal or authority shall not amount to taxable service."

The queried falls under the exclusion interms of the cited proviso. Hence, service tax is not applicable.
