08 January 2009 Service tax is levied on the service rendered and the service receiver has to pay the service tax as they receive the services. Basically the income tax is on the income earned and it is governed by seperate Act as Income tax Act. The service tax is governed by Finance Act. We purchase so many goods for our own consumption and we pay VAT on that. Ultimately the indirect tax whether service tax or VAT will be collected from the final consumer
