Is it necessary for us to pay service tax on legal charges as per Reversal mechanism system ?
Our legal consultant has claimed his bill with out any service tax.
He has also not taken any service tax registration number because his annual income , which is less than 8 Lakh PA.

Please confirm the procedure...

23 August 2013 1)Yes,,by virtue of reversecharge Notification 30/2012

Individual advocates and firm of advocates not required to pay any service tax on service provided by them even though their taxable turnover is 10crores or even more

2)if service receiver is business entity,,and its turnover in previous year is more than 10 lakhs it is the responsibility of service receiver to pay service tax @100% i.e, 12.36% of taxable service received directly to the credit of department with cash
