Dear All

i want to know that if an caterers provided services. he put bill to company in that bill he charged both service tax and vat on gross value.

like this

net amount

VAT @ 15% on net amount

service tax @ 7.416% (after40%abatement) on Net amount

so now question his in that bill he not mentioned that how much charged related to service. he only mention that in bill which type of food supply to u. (like tea, lunch, snacks etc.) on that @ per unit fixed rate charged by him..

so can he is eligible to charged both service tax and vat on net amount. if he not shown in bill hw much value realted to service.

please reply your valuable suggestion.

have a nice day.
