What is the VAT/ service tax rate ?, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[Arijit Das]

In June we paid a facilities & upkeep fee with the hostel rent. That facilities fee had vat or service tax ? What was the amount, because we don't have the receipt. Our college is now charging 18% GST on the 15000 facilities charge i.e 2700. What should be the actual payable after deducting the VAT/service tax we have already paid.

Sir, three instances are to considered to arrive at the rate. Service provided , invoice raised and money paid. If two of the instances are before GST then erstwhile tax rate will be applicable and if two of the instances are after GST then GST is applicable.

If invoice was raised and payment was made before GST then old tax will apply.

Payment was before gst, other 2 after GST.

How much balance will be paid deducting vat/service tax from 18%gst ?

actually we ave confusion with invoice. When we paid in june, a receipt number was given which consisted mess fee,hostel rent, hostel facility fee.

In case of mess fee the mess generated invoice very month so i gues they can apply gst.

In case of facility fee we will be asking today whether they issued invoices every month

Hope you have got my point.Anyhow everybody learns and we are also still learning.
