VAT or CST or Service Tax

Question

Hi
I have to put only one tax among VAT,CST and Service tax at a time for a line item.
I am using TAXINN procedure and
planned to use P.org / vendor  -  VAT and CST ( Since only one will be applicable fr a vendor).
bur for service tax i though of using plant / Material group.
So in my above setup if i put a PO for a vendor both my VAT or CST and Service tax is getting triggered in which i must have only one.
if i use P org /  vendor / material - i have lots of data management works wich has to be minimised.
Earliest advice would be useful !!
Thanks

You can use tax classification ie tax code level, now the issue you will face once you opt for tax code level SAP gives priority to most detail level means to say if you create a condition record using tax code for VAT (JVRD) and you alredy have another record with the same condition type using vendor and plant combination, at document level VAT condition will be called using vendor and plant combination.
Also you can't delete the old condition record wich can effect your old PO doc, the solution will be validity of the condition record which you dont want to get while processing your PO doc. You can take a cut off date and maintain the same date as cut off for the validation (put one date previous date in to date in all condition records). Then maintain the condition records for VAT or CST pr service tax at tax classification tax code as key combination using cut off date as from date while maintaing condition records.
