21 May 2009 You must pay service tax on your services provided by u instead of VAT.

if u are taking paper from supplier & make printing,laminating that u are sending. it is service

if u are purchasing paper yourself & printing,laminating & than u are selling ,it is under vat act.


21 May 2009 To be more clear

if you are doing only printing job and the paper is not purchased by you than service tax

else part 3 pf Mr Jiwan Hold good
