24 July 2014 It depends upon the tariff rate of the hotels.

The luxury tax (it is not vat)is 5 to 12.5%.

For room service, the vat rate is separate.

02 August 2025 For **room service VAT in a 3-star hotel in Tamil Nadu**, here’s what generally applies:

* **Room tariff** attracts **Luxury Tax** (which varies, typically between 5% to 12.5%, depending on the room tariff slab).
* **Room service** (like food and beverages served in the room) is **subject to VAT** separately.

### VAT rate on room service in Tamil Nadu:

* VAT on **food and beverages** served in hotels (including room service) is typically **5%** under Tamil Nadu VAT rules.
* If the hotel provides packaged foods or other items, different VAT rates may apply, but room service (restaurant service within the hotel) generally attracts **5% VAT**.

### Summary:

| Service | Tax applicable | Rate |
| ------------------- | ------------------ | ----------- |
| Room Tariff | Luxury Tax | 5% to 12.5% |
| Room Service (food) | VAT (on food sale) | Around 5% |

**Note:** Luxury Tax and VAT are two different taxes. Luxury Tax is on room tariff, VAT on food & beverage sold within the hotel.

If you want the exact rate, you may check with Tamil Nadu Commercial Taxes Department or the latest notifications as rates can be revised.
