Reverse charge on professional services: recipient liability may apply for advocate-provided legal services to business entities.
Applicability of the reverse charge determines liability for service tax on professional services: ordinarily the service provider is liable because professional services are not generally covered under reverse charge, but legal services by advocates or advocate firms provided to business entities may shift liability to the recipient under reverse charge, while legal services by non-advocate professionals remain provider-liable.
