Thank you Nitin for your reply. The firm has been charging VAT @ 4% & 12.5% respectively, as applicable, on scaffolding hire charges. Even assessments have been completed under the earstwhile sales tax laws. But now VAT dept is saying that service tax applies to hire charges. So we are surprised by its views. Can you quote some case-laws regarding the matter?

Since the department itself is relieving you from the payment of VAT, it's good for you na.
