Dear Sir/Madam, We are providing works contract service to various clients in tamilnadu. when we will make invoice, our vat rate 70% on total value as per tnvat rules and service tax rate 40/60/70 % on total value as applicable. Now our client asking, you are paying vat on 70% value and service tax on 40/60/70 % value, which is does not match. So my question is what vat & service tax rate i should follow ? Because if we calculate total percent then it will come 100% above. Request you to kindly reply me. Thanks in Advance.
