16 June 2013 Service tax will be applicable:-

if Service receiver is :Business entity registered as body corporate located in the taxable territory

If service provider is :Individual, HUF, proprietary or partnership firm, AOP located in taxable territory

1) in case of comprehensive maintenance contracts like AMC, it is a composite contract and intention of parties is not to treat the supply of material and provision of service as two separate contracts. In such cases, it will be a ‘works contract’.

2)Remaining also coming under definition of work contract as per section 65B(54) of Finance Act, 1994 as introduced w.e.f. 1-7-2012.

Thanks & regards

16 June 2013 VAT applicability is depends on your state vat act..generally it may be applicable..
as per cst act your work comes under definition of work contract.

Section 2(ja) of Central Sales Tax Act defines ‘works contract’ as follows – ‘Works contract’ means a contract for carrying out any work which includes assembling, construction, building, altering, manufacturing, processing, fabricating, erection, installation, fitting out, improvement, repair or commissioning of any movable or immovable property.
