09 July 2013 1)In case of Taxable service provided or agreed to be provided by an individual advocate to any business entity (company/firm) located in the taxable territory (India excluding J & K) service tax is payable by the person receiving the service(company/firm) as provided under serial no. 5 of the Table annexed to Service Tax Notification No. 15/2012 dated 17.3.2012

2)Thus an individual lawyer is neither required to be registered with service tax nor liable to pay service tax.

3)The client of a lawyer is liable to pay service tax and to file the returns as service receiver in this situation. Any demand for non-payment of service tax will be issued to the client.

4)The service provided by an individual lawyer to an individual is already exempt from service tax under serial no. 6 of Service Tax Notification No. 12/2012 dated 17.3.2012

Please note...

if suppose you need to pay any amount to another individual lawyer...in that case you are required to pay service tax and hence in such a case you need to register with service tax...

Thanks ®ards
