Dear friends,

One of our clients  provide  software services through physical and online delivery of software which they develop in their own office place. In addition they purchase branded license softwares and sell it to their customers without any modification.

My question is

1. Whether dual tax is applicable (service tax/excise duty + vat) for the software which they develop at their own place and deliver to their customer.

2. If such dual tax is applicable for the above mentioned service whether excise duty or service tax is applicable. in addition to vat.

3. Whether dual tax is applicable for the packaged branded software which they buy from outside supplier and sell it as a product to their clients without any modification or only vat is applicable.

4. Whether the customer is liable to deduct tds for receiving the software as a service and receiving the packaged branded software as a product.

Kindly clarify,

 

Thanks in advance
