Is individual lawyer have to pay service tax


This query is : Open 

(Querist)
25 February 2013 is individual lawyer with his own practise needs to pay service tax ? or receiver of service will have to pay the same ?

25 February 2013 If aggregate value of Taxable service provided is more than 10 Lacs than Lawyer needs to collect and pay service tax. However if the same is not applicable receiver of the service needs to pay service tax under Reverse Charge basis.

25 February 2013 i believe the same is covered under reverse charge mechanism. So the service tax in this case shall be paid by the recipient.
