Applicability of service tax on service provided by Foreign solicitor's firm to a Indian public limited company, Service Tax

[Ravindra Gajelli]

Dear Sir,

 

A Switzerland solicitor firm has provided a legal service to Indian public limited company and raised the bill in CHF  which comes to aprox Rs. 5 lacs. 

As a service receiver, whether we have to pay service tax on the said transaction under reverse charge mechanism?

 

Regards
