one of our client who prints the medical reports of patients of one multi speciality hospital on their behalf and laminates the printed medical report and despatches that report directly to patients and charges the hospital for this service provided. Hospital is not supplying any material to our client for printing and client himself is purchasing materials reQuired for printing. My client doubt is whether he has to charge service tax or vat in the bill charged on hospital.
Please reply soon... very urgent......really urgent....

Am not able to decide on VAT. However service tax on services on behalf of another in realtion to printing are presently exempt under not. [ Maybe 14/ 05.]
