I am an Advocate rendering services for a company having turover of more than 25 cr.I am appearing for that company in court cases my consultation fees is 25000 per month .Now the company is deducting Service Tax on my consultation fees .Kindly advise it is legal because as per circular of Service Tax Dept Company is liable to pay Service Tax

The debate is going on this ISSUE as to whether company should deduct the service tax from 25000(in your case) OR bear the same (i.e. pay out of its own pocket) Just to stretch it further, is 25000 inclusive or exclusive kind of contract?

Then it will go by "survuval of the fittest" kind of solution. If you are strong, you will make the company bear the same and if company is strong (which normally the case is), it has already done the correct thing.
