Dear Sumit

You are right that there is no such rule or notification for it but for further clarification of your situation may I ask you to attach here an invoice of your client with details. Only then the members will be able to answer you correctly.

Thanks.

Invoice copy is not available with me.. But its like the total payment for service is 20 lakhs. Out of which service tax is being charged on 65% i.e 13 lakhs and VAT is being charged on 7 lakhs. According to my knowledge as per the latest laws in case of an activity including both sales and service, the tax is to be charged based on the dominant feature whether it is service or sale and service tax or VAT should be charged on total amount accordingly.

Request you to please help me out
