WE ARE RAISING TWO SEPARATE INVOICES INFAVOUR OF APARTMENT ASSOCIATION, TOWARDS MATERIAL Rs. 1500/- AND SERVICE CHARGES Rs. 500/-. WHETHER WE NEED TO PAY THE SERVICE ON FULL AMOUNT OF Rs. 2000/- OR Rs. 500/- ON SERVICE PORTION.
If you are paying Sales tax on the material sold in relation to Maintenance and Houskeeping services then you can avoid service tax on the material Bills.
