17 February 2009 It appears that transfer of right to use is being made with transfer of possession and control. It amounts to sale as per constitution- VAT is payale.
If there is no transfer of possession or control,service tax is payable under tangible goods service under Section 65 (105)(zzzj).

03 March 2009 One of the two- either VAT or service tax- is payable.
