21 May 2014 Dear Shri Shrivastava
On your first qs, the answer lies in judgment of Maharashtra SAles TAx Tribunal in the matter of Nikhil Comforts wherein it has been held that service tax element shall be exigible to VAT in a contract comprising both service & material element. Similar view has been taken by the Commissioner of Sales Tax in Sujata Printers. Though the point is debatable it would have to be litigated. Till then VAT is applicable on Service Tax element.
On qs no 2 Section 31 of MVAT Act lays down that TDS has to made by specified persons @ 2% from a RD or 5% from URD dealer. If you are in doubt in view of some peculiarities of the transaction then you may apply to JC VAT Administration to get a no TDS certificate. Till then you will have to make the TDS & deposit it in the treasury.
