Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) for legal fees under GST. RCM is indeed applicable, with IGST applying if the advocate is from another state, and CGST/SGST otherwise. Input tax credit can be claimed in the same month as payment to offset output liability.

Yes it would be applicable. Where the advocate is of another state, then IGST payable, if not CGST & SGST.

Levy arises based on Section 9(3) r/w notification 10/2017-CT(R)
