If ur professional income exceeds the limit prescribed in the Act, u have to register with the Central Excise Department. For more details refer Chapter V of Finance Act, 1994 and the Scheme framed by the Board of central Excise. u may browse the internet or the Central Excise web site.

Dear Mr. Dubey, advocates service to individual client does not attract service tax. If you are giving your service to corporate clients, then service tax attract. But the service tax is imposed with reverse charge mechanism, so the corporate client will get registered and pay the tax. Hence no advocate has the liability to pay service tax.

I feel we should not hesitate to answer academic queries. They give every one opportunity to refresh ones knowledge and update the same. it also informs even the experts who do not practice in a particular branch of law.

I agree with expert M.V. Gupta's views on academic queries on such exceptional cases which no doubt are informative to all advocates/experts.
