Our Company has organized a Dealers Meeting in a Hotel. The Said Hotel has raised Bills (Both Accommodation & Food separately) to us. In the Food Bill, they had claimed VAT& Service Tax. The Rate of Service Tax is 6.18%. My Question is whether the Service tax Rate is Correct & whether we will deduct TDS. If yes, the Rate of TDS & under which section it well attract.

As per Notification No 34/2011 the 25th April 2011, in case of services provided by a restaurant etc of the kind mentioned by you, out of total amount 30% is treated as taxable service. The rate of service tax is 10% and as per my calculation it should be 3.09%. On food bill you need not to deduct TDS.
