Hi,
Is service tax applicable for lawyers/ law firms? If so, at what rate and from when was it effective?
Awaiting immediate responses.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Sanjana.

An Advocate or a Firm of Advocates are not liable to pay service tax on legal services provided by them. If the service receipient is a business entity having turnover exceeding Rs. 10 Lacs in the preceding year, then due to reverse charge, such entity shall pay service tax @ 12.36% on the legal services received from Advocate.
