Dear Author, The honourable Supreme Court has also held in several cases that Software is to be treated as goods and therefore chargeable with VAT. A transaction involving a sale of goods can not be levied Service tax,because it is applicable to rendering of services only.Both the liabilities do not arise on the same transaction. So,you can ask for refund of Service tax from your suppier. MJK
