I am not registered with excise.but registered with service tax.I have allowed to use my brand name to client and this is covered under sales tax definition .Hence sales tax authorities asked me to pay the sales tax.Accordingly I have paid sales tax and recovered from the client.Now service tax Authorities are asking me that this is covered under intellectual Property and to pay the service tax. Whether I am liable to pay service tax or sales tax .please guide me.please also provide related provisions.
