18 June 2010 Whether service tax is liable to be charged by the hotels on telephone facility provided to guests.

Such as
STD call rate Rs.12/-per minute .
is it liable to service tax

18 June 2010 Telephone facilty by the telecommunications company only covered ST. So in your case no ST is applicable this is one type of reimbursement of your actual expenses only
