In Case of Works Contract Service we have to pay both VAT & Service Tax,
For VAT if we are not able to separate Value of Material & Labour charges we go for standard deductgion option (e.g. in Maharashtra 25% standard deduction is available for labour)and on balance we have to pay VAT,
However,for service tax the chargeable value is 40% of total contract price as per service tax rules.Therefore we are paying tax on 115%(i.e.75%+40%).What is the solution for this and how to pass accountinf entries.
