Service tax on hotel bill (food packet)

This query is : Resolved 

25 June 2015 Respected,

Our company brought food packet from nearby restaurant 10 food packet at our company. Hotel charges service tax on it @ 5.6%, My contention is that service tax wont be levied as per law as we brought food packet at our premises but hotel refuse it. Whether My contention is valid or not ? can input credit be claimed if service tax paid on in

25 June 2015 Your contention is not correct service tax payable on food packets purchased from AC restaurants. Service tax rate is 14% it is levied on 40% of value of foods supplied, being service portion on preparing the food.
