Thnx for reply. I want to known that is it possible that excise, vat and st are charged on same job?

[YAGAY andSUN]

If excise is leviable, then, service tax would not be applicable and vice versa. However, either along with Excise or service tax, VAT/CST or WCT can be leviable.

[chetan kumar]

Service tax will not be levied on service portion(40 percent)? ? in most of entries is was not levied.. But in some entries it ws being levied on service portion.
