Lawyers in Patna protest service tax
PATNA — Lawyers of Patna civil court on Thursday abstained from court in protest against imposition of service tax on lawyers having a legal practice of more than Rs five lakh.
The District Bar Association has given a call for two-day abstention on Thursday and Friday.
Association’s president Jaiprakash Singh said lawyers already pay income tax and the imposition of service tax on them, as announced in the Union Budget, is unjustified as the Central government seems to have treated the legal profession as an industry.
Bihar State Lawyers’ Association president Ramesh Prasad Singh said the imposition of service tax on lawyers would harm the interests of poor litigants.
The Association also passed a resolution, condemning attack on a judicial magistrate of Begusarai, S N Ram recently.
