Someone else asked a similar question but not the same. I bought Coffee from a shop in Delhi and they charged me service tax as well as VAT on the entire amount. The total tax came out to be 17%, so a Rs. 100 Coffee cost me Rs. 117.00.
Is that Legal? My contention is that both can be charged on the components (say may be VAT on Rs. 80 service tax on Rs. 20).
Can someone explain?
