28 June 2013 dear CMA Ramesh Krishan , thanks for ur reply . but still I am in a dilemma that as I ask in my query he is charging a monthly rental of rs 2000, + charges according to meter reading ,

so in which amount vat would be charge
1)- only meter reading charges ??
2)- rent +meter reading charges ???

28 June 2013 It is nature of work contract which cannot segregate the material and labour. because rent is basically charged on per copy basis.so VAT apply on total bill

29 June 2013 VAT and service tax both are different directions. ofcourse in the VAT covers under WCT then service tax also may covered under Work contract service, but the service provider under which category he is registered need to be checked, some time pure repairs & maintenance also will cover this nature of service
