WCT is a State levy in lieu of Sales tax. It is an optional composition scheme. Presumably the person is charging you with 12.36% of Service Tax and 12% VAT. I don't think WCT at 12% rate is available. Hence it should be ST + VAT

From February 2009 the ST rate was 10.3%. The VAT is obviously 12%. As per the service tax provisions the service provider has to charge ST on the gross bill raised. Howevver, the goods supplied while rendering such service, on which VAT is paid exempted. Hence, ST is payable on the portion of service rendered alone.
