Applicability of service tax


20 April 2013 We are engaged in a business of printing of books, calenders, poster, leaflet, journals etc. Now my question is are we liable to pay service tax? Now we are paying VAT only.


20 April 2013 There is always 2 opinion in such case- First is it is contract of sale and second it is a contract ( or can say works contract). It was always relevant for TDS under Section 194C under Income tax act Many courts has decided it as sale of goods hence no TDS is applicable. and if it is a sale of goods then service tax would also not be applicable.

It need a detailed analysis on case to case basis and in-depth scrutiny of agreement made between printer and the purchase/orderer.
