30 December 2012 Yes you can charge the VAT & Service Tax in same bill. But the Bill must full fill the requirements of both the Laws. i.e.

The serial nos of invoices for Service Tax and VAT should be in continuation and TIN (VAT Registration No.) and ST (Service Tax No.) should be mentioned along with the other requirements of Invoices in both the laws.

VAT Should be charged on the Value of Property in Goods Passed
Service Tax should be charged on Value of Taxable Services Rendered.

By the nature of Service, it should be a separate service provided on request of the client and must not be associated with the selling of goods.

For eg. if the service is of installation of TV along with selling it has been provided then the service tax should not be charged on the bill and only the amount of TV Sold should be mentioned and VAT should be charged.
But if a separate service is provided on the request of the client then the service tax shall also be charged.
