Hi all,

A party has raised a bill towards car hire charges. He has charged Service Tax at the prescribed rate on 40% of the gross value of service provided. While other parties, providing same service are charging service tax on 100% of the gross value of service provided. I wanted to know what is the rule? Is the party charging service tax on 40% of the gross value of service provided is enjoying any abatement or he is not charging service tax on cost of fuel consumed? Please clarify.

Can VAT and service tax be applied simultaneously on same services ?
