02 August 2025 Hey! Your query is a bit unclear, but here’s what I understand and how I can help:

---

### VAT and Service Tax on Goods

* **VAT (Value Added Tax)** is a tax on the sale of goods within a state.
* **Service Tax** is a tax on services provided.

---

### Key points:

1. **VAT is charged on goods.**
2. **Service tax is charged on services.**
3. **You cannot charge both VAT and service tax on the same goods** because service tax applies only to services, not goods.

---

### Your query:

If someone charged 60% VAT and 70% service tax on one product — that sounds incorrect or a misunderstanding.

* First, **VAT rates are never as high as 60%** — typical VAT rates range from 1% to 15% depending on the state and product.
* Second, **Service Tax rates were around 12%-15% during 2014, never 70%.**
* Possibly, there is confusion or miscommunication.

---

### What to do?

* Check the invoice carefully.
* Verify if the charge is VAT on goods and service tax on services (like installation, warranty, or insurance).
* If it’s a goods purchase, only VAT should apply.
* If there is a service attached, service tax should be applied separately but within normal rates.

If you want, send me the detailed bill or context, I can help clarify better!
