Dear Harshada,

Here the POT is date of actual payment in July. Not the date of credit of payee in ledger books.

	In Case of services provided by  individual advocates company needs to pay service tax on reverse charge mechanism w.e.f. 01/07/2012. My query is what will be the point of taxation if payment to advocate is made in the month of july 2012, but invoice was raised in month of april 2012? whether ther will be any tax liability on company in this situation?

whether every business house who is selling goods only and paying legal fees on account of sales tax , income tax matters to advocates have to take STC and pay Service tax
