I went to Minerva hotel today... Had a plate idli...value of idli rs.54/- service tax @5.6% amounting to rs.3.02/- and VAT @14.50% amounting to rs. 8.27/-, round off rs. -0.29 totaling to rs. 65.00/-.
According to me VAT should be calculated on the value of Idli and not on service tax. Please help me with this whether I'm correct or not. And if I'm correct where should I lodge a complaint for calculating tax on tax.
