Why this matters for lawyers & advocates
Lawyers and senior advocates have unique tax treatment — most legal services are exempt from GST (Notification 12/2017), but business advisory, IP filing, retainership are taxable at 18%. Section 44ADA presumptive taxation up to ₹50 lakh receipts. FilingLab handles lawyer-specific tax — ITR-3 / 4, exempted vs taxable income split, Bar Council fees deduction, and chamber rent / books expense.
