Dear Korath,

VAT and Service Tax both are different in nature. While service tax on works contract is charged @ 10% on 1/3 rd value of contract or 4% on full value of the contract(Compounding method), whereas the VAT is to be paid on the balance 75% value of the contract. The basic concept in works contract is 75% of the WC is sale and balance is labour charges. So the 75% of the WC is treated as sales and 25% is treated as service. The same treatment is taken for advances also

regards

So if it is compounding method then we should make service tax @ 4%.

my question is

(1)How to bifurcate service tax, tds and vat on a receipt by the party.

in the case of tds they will give certificate.

(2) to get correct fig is it needed to add back tds on the above receipt.
