Understanding Service Tax
Service Tax is a central tax imposed on certain services and is an important component of India’s indirect tax system. It was first introduced through the Finance Act of 1994 under Chapter V and is collected by the Central Excise Department. This tax aims to generate revenue from the provision of services, complementing traditional indirect taxes like customs duties and central excise duties.

Mastering Value Added Tax (VAT)
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a multi-point tax levied on the value added at each stage of the production and distribution process. It is collected at the stages of manufacture and resale, with provisions for rebating the tax paid on inputs and purchases. VAT is a significant element of indirect taxation in India, designed to ensure that tax is paid incrementally as value is added.
