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.???
