Vat & service tax

This query is : Resolved 

07 August 2012 launching e-com site and will be selling high quality collective items over the net.
Now the questions are :
1. Will both VAT and service tax will be applicable to us?
I read somewhere if we say shipping free but include the average shipping cost in our costing process then we dont have to pay the service tax. Is it true and legal??

2. have heard different states have different VAT rates. Now our products will be shipped from both the Noida as well as Dehradoon location. Can u redirect me to some link or give me an idea as to how to tackle this different rates on different shipping addresses.???

07 August 2012 ST Applicable, Since Rate Same in All India Goverened by Central Law Only.
& VAT as Applicable ur state UP & UK Only

07 August 2012 still d point not clear?

07 August 2012 Till the Madam U Not Mention Here The Point Which is Not Clear to u, Then How Can One Normal Person Solve That........?????

08 August 2012 Where in the ACT is mentioned both will be applicable? section? also what if shipping is free, still the service tax is applicable??
