This query is : Open
21 April 2009
After the incorporation of ITSS under Service Tax Act , the dealers in softwares are charging both VAT and Service tax on sale of softwares and Licenses. Further in some states there is Vat even on sale of customized softwares. If VAT is already there on sale of softwares ( branded/ customized ) then how there can be service tax on sale of branded and customized softwares ?
Please clarify.
Furher is there any case pending before any of the high courts in India on validity of charging service tax on sale of Softwares(branded/ customized).

Actually w.e.f. F.Y. 2008-09 service tax is made applicable on the customized software including the license part of the customized software.Additionally VAT/CST is also applicable on the license part of the customized software. So there is a dual tax in the form of VAT/CST and Service Tax on the license part of the customized software. All Companies including Oracle,microsoft etc are charging both VAT and Service tax on the license part of their software.
