30 April 2015 Dear Sir/Madam,

A public limited company hire/rented laptops from local vendors for an official use both are in state of Maharashtra and vendor not charged any VAT or Service tax on such bill.
Is there any consequences in future regarding being recipient of service or for any default in case of VAT or Service tax.
