Q1. Service tax rate is uniform for all services. Currently it is 10.30%(inclusive of Edn. Cess).
Q2. Hire of equipments are taxable service. Service tax is chargeable.
However, since no manpower has been supplied, implying thereby, effective posession and control of the equipment has been transfered, in my view, VAT should have been charged, in place of Service tax.
