in a singal bill he will charge 12.36% because service was rendered full month of feb. in next month he will charge 10.3%

For rate of serice tax service provided is important.....

therefore for service provided upto 24.2.09 tax rate will be 12.36% and after that 10.3%

service was started and contineued up to feb. 85% workd done @ 12.36% acordig to period he will raised a singal bill. so he will charge 12.36%

In service tax taxable event is rendering of services i.e the rate of such date is taken when services are rendered. In service no such date is fixed for rates, so in the absense of such date the rate of taxable event is taken. Rendering of services should be bifurcate before or after 24th Feb for chargeability.
