Service tax on home delivery: delivery may attract service tax while VAT covers sale of goods depending on classification. VAT and service tax are both potentially leviable on home delivery of cafe sales: VAT covers the sale of goods while service tax may apply to the delivery or related service component. The applicable rates and tax treatment depend on the nature of the goods and the characterization of the service element, requiring allocation of value between goods and services under relevant valuation rules.
