Question
Devangi’s phone subscription charges for the period 17-02-09 to 16-03-09 were as follows:
| Period | Amount (in Rs) | Service Tax % |
| 17-02-09 to 23-02-09 | 199.75 | 12 |
| 24-02-09 to 16-03-09 | 599.25 | 10 |
Find the final bill amount if 3% education cess was also charged on service tax.
Solution
On the basis of above given table,
Amount for period 17-02-09 to 23-02-09 = Rs 199.75
∴ Amount with service tax 12% = `199.75 + 12/100 xx 199.75`
= 199.75 + 23.97
= Rs 223.72
Amount for period 24-02-09 to 16-03-09 = Rs 599.25
Amount with service tax @10% = `599.25 + 599.25 xx 10/100`
= 599.25 + 59.925
= Rs 659.175
∴ Total bill amount = Rs 223.72 + Rs 659.175 = Rs 882.895
Total bill amount including education cess of 3%
= 882.895 + 3% of 882.895
= `882.895 + 3/100 xx 882.895`
= 882.895 + 26.486
= Rs 909.39
