Dear Sir,
yes, it is correct... because the software is prepared by the vendor from whom you are purchasing the windows OS.... and they are charging service tax for the service of preparation/drafting of software as per client's requirement and they are charging VAT for the sale of the same... and as you said, you are purchasing licences for the same, thus levying of service tax is justified in my opinion...
Packaged Softwares like OS is a goods and the transaction is that of sale of goods. The vendor is simply purchasing and selling the Windows OS...means he is trading in goods, which is covered under negative list u/s 66D. So, only VAT can be levied.
Kindly mail for further clarifications, if any.
Regards,
Manoj Agarwal
