Applicability of VAT on Catering service


This query is : Resolved 

22 May 2008 An Out door caterer supplied the foods, tea and snacks to the office premises. Said caterer is charging Service tax on total catering bills. Again he is charging VAT @12.5% on gross amount including service tax.
i) Is VAT applicable on outdoor catering Services.
ii) On which value VAT should be charged.

22 May 2008 1)Yes
2)Gross value

19 September 2008 In my opinion no VAT can be charged on Service Tax.

It is advisable to the caterer that he should raise two separate bills- one for food (12.5% VAT) and another for catering service charges (12.36% Service Tax).
