Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications for legal services. It explains that if you receive legal services from an unregistered firm, you, as the recipient, are liable to pay GST under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) at an 18% rate. Crucially, you can then claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for this GST paid.
