07 January 2014 as per defination of service

any activity carried by one person to another person for consideration is service

if no consideration the no question of service tax,
and doctor write Prescription and patient purchase such medicines in his clinic then such activity is comes under sales tax becoz that is sale

and charge vat on such medicine

here no question of service tax provided doctor not charge any fees for written of prescription
