and now again this service tax is charged which will come up Rs 300000 this year,
tell me how he can reduce this liabilty of paying tax

24 August 2011 70% abatement is available in the service profile, and the service tax is to be collected in bills and to be paid,

excise on alcohal is state excise,
vat is the matter of state tax, and here you are enjoying the input credit also,

input services are available for credit against the service tax liability, so in total its a beneficiary scheme for the assessee.
