Sales tax is levied for sales only. In the capacity of commission agent how you can have sales tax?

If you do sales separtely try input credit permitted by State Act itself.

Service tax and income tax two different streams, former is indirect and latter is direct tax. You cannot set off.

In the absence of details of your turnover of last and current year I am not able to comment even the basic exemption available to you.
