20 October 2012 Suppose we are Law Firm, rendering professinal services in India. We are getting business from a Foreign Law Firm for its Indian Client. Now, we have to charge Indian Client on behalf of Foreign Law Firm for the service rendered in India. So, who will be liable to pay service tax on Reverse Charge Mechanism prevailing in India w.e.f. 01/07/2012 onwards??

Note:- We are getting payment for the services from its Indian Client directly.

24 October 2012 In case legal services are provided, wherein the service recipient is located in taxable territory, reverse charge would be invoked.

Accordingly it needs to be seen who is service recipient in instant case.
