This query is : Resolved 

13 May 2009 if we paid commission or retainer fees to Foreign TA/company than Are we liable to pay Service tax?

Please advice

13 May 2009 If you are hiring legal services from some foreign attorney, then you are not liable to pay service tax as legal service is not covered under service tax.

Please specify the exact nature of the services procured by you.
