Applicability of ST & VAT on outdoor catering services


This query is : Resolved 

10 March 2009 Are outdoor catering services provided at school will attract VAT & ST.

If yes then what rate?

10 March 2009 where the caterer was located within the premises of any academic institution and is providing catering service only within such premises, the taxable service was fully exempt vide notification no 21/2004- dated 10.09.2004, but this notification has been withdrawn with effect from 01.03.2006. Therefore this service is taxable at 12.36% on service charges. On sale of food, there is implication of VAT. depending upon the state where it is provided, the VAT will be applicable. In case it is difficult to determine the service charges then abatement of 50% is allowed under the service tax law

10 March 2009 Rate mentioned in the answer viz; 12.36% may be reconsidered in view of notification dated 24/2/2009.

10 March 2009 ST-10.30%
VAT-8% or 12.50% as the case may be.

12 March 2009 Thanks Sirs.
