Software issues

This query is : Resolved 

31 August 2009 Dear Sir,
I would like to know the applicability of Service tax OR Sales Tax for the below Software issues:-

1) We develop software for the Hand Held Computers and would supply customised software to the customer as per their requirement. When we bill for this customised software development only, should we charge Sales tax Or Service Tax?

2) What happens when customer wants to pay on the basis of man hours spent by our employee at his workplace for development of software? Should we charge Sales tax or Service Tax?

3) Some of our customer are ready to take Annual maintenance contract purely for Software. Should such maintenance be charged to Sales tax or Service Tax
