13 January 2017 Hello Sir,
We are an advertising agency. We do designing and printing work. For designing and printing we charge service tax @ 15%. For this designing we use material. For the material we use we charge VAt @ 6%. Combining both the taxes it comes to 21%. In construction co. there is a provision in which taxes is charged at lower rate ie 16% to 17%. Is there any provision as such for advertising agency where we can charged combine tax at a lower rate.
