Mr JP Singh, According to me, the invoice is wrong,because,as per sec66 of ST Act service tax can be levied on the sevices provided and computer software is not a service,but goods,as per clause 64 of sec65(definitions)of the same Act. Moreover,soft ware is chargeable @5% under entry no 1 of schIV of UP VAT Act.On any transaction only one of the taxes i.e.either VAT or ST can be levied. Here if it a sale of computer software only VAT is to be levied,or if it is bill on software servicing then only ST is leviable. No tax on a tax can be charged.So, you can ask your supplier to amend the invoice accordingly
