Service tax billing

Dear All,

I am a service provider along with supply of material.  I would like to know the procedure for billing.  My contract is for value of material and service provided.  That is if the total value is for Rs.100/-; Rs.65/- goes to material cost for which I am paying Sales Tax (VAT).  I am incurring Rs.20/- towards freight charges for which I want to pay Service Tax availing the abatement i.e., I would like to pay 25% of the freight amount only.  The balance Rs.15/- is for supply of labour, loading/unloading charges, etc., for which also I want to pay Service Tax at 12.36%.  

My question is whether I can prepare only one Bill clubbing the VAT portion bill and SERVICE TAX portion bill OR whether I have to prepare two Bills one for VAT portion and another for SERVICE TAX.

Thanks in advance

Hi Gopinath, In my view you can do it in a single bill by showing different line items....
Both in Vat and Service tax it is mandatory that you have to maintain separate set of serial number of invoices. Now if you can bifurcate the material portion and service portion on actual basis, then it is advisable to prepare two separate set of invoices for each, else as a WCT, there will be deduction @ 2% or 4% form your total invoice value. Decision is yours.

Agreed with Ajit ji.

Dear Shri Ajit Ji,

Thank you for your immediate response.  Your advice will be of great help to me.

Thank you once again.

Gopinath
