10 September 2013 VAT only will be applicable. Rate depends on the item and state.
secondly, if home delivery charges are billed separately then service tax also will be applicable after the total amount of service reaches Rs. 10 Lakh

disclaimer- all answers are given as per the facts narrated by you. Answer may differ after study of full facts/statements/agreements etc. involved in the case
