Representational services of CAs/CWAs/CSs taxable w.e.f from May 1, 2011
IN DDT 1562, we commented that “Incidentally as of now there is an exemption for CAs, Cost Accountants and Company Secretaries for representation work as per Notification No. 25/2006 - S.T DATED 13.07.2006. Most probably the government will withdraw this notification once the Finance Bill is enacted and lawyers' representation will become a taxable service. If they forget there will be a funny situation where the lawyers whose main job is to argue in courts will be taxed for their arguments while CAs will be exempted”
Now the Government is withdrawing this exemption with effect from May 1, 2011 which will bring CAs/CWAs/CSs on par with lawyers from May 1, 2011.
Notification No. , Dated: April 25, 2011 Exemption provided for
