08 December 2011 Before 01-05-2011 any type of legal service was not taxable in the bill the advocate would not have added service tax

Where as a chartered Accountant is liable for service tax hence he would have added service tax in his bill that is why they would have taken cenvat credit

Service tax for a chartered accountant is applicable with effect from 16/10/1998

Now Advocates are also liable for service tax for certain type of legal services with effect from 01/05/2011
Exemption of service Tax Rs 10 lacs in aggregate
