Legal documentation and certification services for filing patent applications received from foreign patent attorneys constituted "legal services" classifiable under SAC 998213, attracting GST as import of services with place of supply at the recipient's location in India. Exemption for "legal services" under the relevant entry was held inapplicable because "advocate/senior advocate" under the Advocates Act, 1961 refers to persons enrolled under Indian rolls and does not extend to foreign attorneys; consequently, the services were taxable. The activity was held to be in the course or furtherance of the foreign service providers' business and therefore a "supply," making tax payable by the recipient under reverse charge as per the applicable notification. - AAR
