I am registered under Supply of Foods and Beverages.By applying Rule 2C i can claim an abatement of 60% i.e i have to pay service tax on remaining 40%. My lawyer suggested me to charge service tax on 40% and vat on the remaining portion i.e on 60%. he is giving an explanation that vat should not be charged on that amount on which service tax has already been charged for this he has also given a reference of case law of Imagic Creative Pvt. ltd. vs Commissioner of Commercial Taxes. He now advice me to make bill as

FOOD & BEVERAGES 1000.00
SERVICE CHARGES@ 20% 200.00
TOTAL 1200.00
LESS: ABATEMENT 720.00
TOTAL 480.00
SERVICE TAX@12.36 59.33
VAT@ 14.30% ON ABATEMENT 102.96
TOTAL AMOUNT(TOTAL+ST+VAT) 1362.29

TOTAL 1200.00
LESS: ABATEMENT 720.00
