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
