The pattern is incorrect becouse Excise & Service Tax charged before charging any other Tax, however

Work Contract Rs : 100

Services Tax @ 4 % 4

Sub Total 104

Add Vat 80% of 104 @ 12.50% 10.40

Grand Total 114.40

thanks for prompt reply

as per your view it is service tax which should be added before adding WCT under vat , but from where did you arrive at "80 %" i.e 80 % of 104, correctly speaking under composition scheme of VAT it should be 8 % of 104 i.e Rs. 8.32 and hence total value should be rs. 100 + 4 + 8.32 = 112.32/- ??

Supply, Installation & Commissioning of Electro Mechanical Equipment for swimming pool - Rs.3,60,000/-

Add : MVAT @ 8% on Rs.3,60,000/- = Rs.28,800/-

Add : Service Tax @ 12.36% on 33% of Rs.3,60,000/- = Rs.14,684/-

Total Billing = Rs.4,03,484/-

Is this correct. Please confirm.

As provided under Explanation (a) of Rule 2A(1)(i) of Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006, under the CS also, as per Rule 3(2), gross amount charged shall not include Value Added Tax (VAT) or sales tax. Base for computation of CS is gross amount charged in the bill. This amount may be including VAT as well. If so, the amount of VAT required to be paid thereon will have to be deducted. This will avoid payment of ST on VAT. In case, if the assessee has opted for CS under VAT then the amount of CS under VAT will have to be considered, otherwise actual amount of VAT liability computed will have to be deducted. In case, if the bill comprises value of work done and amount of VAT separately then the value of work executed as shown will be the basis for computation of CS.

I vouch for the opinion of Mr.Mohana Krishnan with one reservation on consideratin of VAT for SErvice Tax. If the gross amount charged under WCT Services is inclusive of VAT also, irrespective of the scheme opted under VAT, same should be taken out from the gross amount and service tax shall be calculated on the balance amount. This is clear as per the notification nos. 29 & 32 of ST.

Still there are 2 options available under MVAT Act in composition scheme i.e., 8% & 5% with different ITC restrictions. Moreover, the only one State allowing ITC under composition scheme is Maharashtra and no other State VAT Act allows ITC benefit under composition scheme.
