08 January 2014 If advocate had given single bill of 10,000/- for both fee and expenses. Then the service receiver is liable to pay ST on total amount. If the advocate given two bills separately for fee and expenses then the service receiver is liable to pay service tax only on fees.

There is no need to pay ST on expenses if the lawyer given separate bill.

Does that mean I only need to pay service tax on Professional Fees Rs. 8000/-, Though I'm paying ST.the full Rs. 10000/- to govt.
