I don't find relvant section/notification/circular, but if company sells, vat shold be charged. But in my openion  compnay should give free snacks, lunch, etc. to their employee.

Mr Kaushik i want to clear that company is charging from their employees for food.

 

Dear Mukesh Goyal,

                           Vat is not applicable on tea and drinks but it is applicable on all meals.

 

Friends anr respected Sir,

Please solve my problem. My client is a registered dealer (Interior decorator) in west Bengal and also has Service tax registration. Now they are performing works contract of a Company in Hyderabad. They are buying all raw materials from Hyderabad and using the same in Hyderabad.

Now my question is that Their Contract price is Rs.12 lacs and value of material is unascertained.

How tax (VAT or CST or SERVICE TAX) should be calculated and at what price ???????????
