Hello Sandip,

Yes, revised Service Tax rates (i.e., 10.30%) are applicable on professional fees for financial year 2009-10.

There is only chance of changes in this after the election when final budget will be passed.

Bill Amount................: Rs. 5,000/=

Service Tax (@10%)...: Rs. 500/=
Edu. Cess(@2%on ST)..: Rs. 10/=
H.Edu. Cess(@1%on ST): Rs. 5/=
----------------------------------------
Total......................: Rs. 5,515/=
