Harshna gave her car for service at service station on 27-05-2009 and was charged as follows
(a) 3.10 litres engine oil @ Rs 178.75 per litre and VAT @ 20%
(b) Rs 1,105.12 for all other services and VAT @ 12.5%
(c) Rs 2,095.80 as labour charges and service tax @10%
(d) 3% cess on service Tax
Find the bill amount

Solution:

(a) Total amount charged for 3.10 litres of oil:

Amount Charged = (Oil consumed in litres) × 178.75 + VAT @ 20%

3.10 × 178.75 + 20% of (3.10 × 178.75)

= 554.125 + (20/100) × (554.125)

= 554.125 + (1/5) × (554.125)

= 554.125 + 110.825

= Rs. 665.05

(b) Total amount for other services:

= Other Service Charges + VAT @ 12.5%

= 1105.12 + 12.5% of (1105.12)

= 1105.12 + 138.14

= Rs. 1243.26
(c) Total Amount for Labour Charges

= Labour Charges + 10% service Tax

= 2095.80 + 10% of 2095.80

= 2095.80 + 209.58

= Rs. 2305.38

(d) 3% on service Tax

As calculated earlier, service tax = Rs. 209.58

Cess on Service Tax @ 3% = (3/100) × 209.58

= Rs. 6.29

Bill Amount = Rs. 665.05 + Rs. 1243.26 + Rs. 2305.38 + Rs. 6.29

= Rs. 4219.98

= Rs. 4220
