question is: when you 'sell' FOSS do you charge VAT or do you charge service tax. We recently 'bought' a FOSS package for 3 lakhs. We were charged service tax to the tune of 36,000. If we had 'bought' a proprietary package we would have paid sales tax at 4% or 12,000. (at that time there was no VAT in tamilnadu). -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
