hi,

can someone tell me whether vat is levied on service charge also? i went to Pizza Hut and its billing structure was such that it took service charge @ 10% on the value of goods we consumed and then charged 12.5% vat on the entire amount, i.e. on value of goods consumed and the service charge. Was the billing structure right? and if yes, won't it amount to double levy? because on service charge they have taken vat, and they will pay service tax also on the same.

Again they charged 2.5% extra vat on the whole amount giving reason that the vat rate applicable for international food chain is 15%. is that so? i mean if it is operating in Gujrat, (My residence) are the vat rates applicable in the state are not applicable to them?

in and around they charged about 24% extra.

please clarify.

We are into resell drugs. We have to distribute free samples to doctors and to some stockist as this increases out sale. Can I get a input credit on purchase of goods which I am giving as free samples. Also can you please support a suggestion along with case law?

My client is a dealor of chemical and he was purchases a car in 2007 and he was paid vat @12.5% and not taken any input credit.

He has sold his car in 2009 and not charges any vat from party

Sales Tax authority say he will liable for paid Vat on sales of used car
it is clear cut double taxation.


Is he liable or not ?
