<h1>Service Tax Applies to Consulting Engineers, Including Self-Employed, Since 1997 Per Circular No. 96/7/2007</h1> Consulting engineers, as defined by law, include any professionally qualified engineer, body corporate, or firm providing advice, consultancy, or technical assistance in engineering disciplines, excluding computer software engineering. Services provided by consulting engineers to clients were taxable under service tax regulations effective from July 7, 1997. Initially, the service receiver was defined as a client until May 15, 2008, after which it included any person. Circular No. 96/7/2007 clarifies that self-employed engineers also fall under the definition of consulting engineers and are subject to service tax for services rendered. This circular supersedes previous clarifications on service tax issues.
