Our one client is co-operative bank and they have purchased license for original windows operating system of Rs. 643762/-. The vendor co. is charging the Service Tax of Rs. 65859/- and VAT amount of Rs. 32188/- in the bill. They have to say that it is covered under Information Technology services.
Please clarify the matter that whether both the tax will be chargeable or not. But the vendor co. is not showing its service tax no. in the invoice itself.

They can collect both service tax and vat but they should provide you service tax number insist for the same and in bill let them mention the service tax amount seperately so that you can claim.
