17 August 2013 Dear experts

My Company (Ltd. Company) have to pay Rs 200000/- to its legal advisors whether my company have to take service tax registration as my company have to pay service tax as per reverse charge mechanism.

Advocate is a partnership firm.

Please note that my company doesn't provide any other service which is chargeable to tax. So till date i dont have any service tax registration number.

I further estimate that in future also (after this payment) my company does not provide any service which is under the purview of Service Tax.

Please reply on a urgent basis.
