Is there amendment for service tax credit rule. Earlier service tax credit was allowed only after payment to service provider. Is their any change? can we take credit as soon as booked the service bill ?

We are a leading Manufacturing Company taking services of Advocates related to

1. VAT Assessment
2. Income Tax Cases
3. Trademark/Brand Registration etc.

Our Statutory Auditors suggest us to Deposit RCM on above 1,2 & 3 services under " Legal Services" as it is provided by Advocate.

Whereas on all bills Advocate mentions Professional Services, So Accordingly we Deduct only TDS as per applicability.

Please Suggest on the above.

We are a body corporate & having poultry farm. In poultry farm we are appointed causal
labour through labour contractor & paid monthly labour charges to contractor. As per my information animal rearing / husbandry activities are covered in agricultural definition & agricultural activities are covered in negative list. This said labour is appointed for agri activities .Hence service tax on labour ( manpower supply) is not required to pay. This is my
information is correct or wrong .You are requested to guide me.

Thanking you,
