01 December 2014 as per your notification reference it means sole proprietor is liable to pay service tax even though he is received the services of worth rs 10000 /- or less .Because sole proprietor is under tax audit last three years .

is it correctly interpreted?

02 December 2014 pl suggest your views.

02 December 2014 Yes sole proprietor comes under the definition of person referred to the 65B(37) of the finance act, 1994. As far Service Tax is concerned if he had a 10 lacs or more turnover in last financial year, he will be liable to pay service tax on all service received from Lawyers and Advocates
