Under reverse charge of Service Tax (ST), ST is 100% payable by recipient of services in case of services provided by Advocate or legal firm. Service Recipient(SR) has to make payment while deducting tds u/s 194J. So my Q. is that if the invoice amount is 1,00,000Rs. (excl. ST) then what is the amount of ST payable by SR and what is the amount of TDS deducted by SR? & what is the net amount payable by SR to service provider?

TDS u/s 194J applies at the time the amount is paid or credited in Payees Account. Since amount paid or credited in the Advocate's account is Rs.1,00,000, 194J applies on Rs.1,00,000/- only.
