Respected Sir,
As per Circular No. 173/08/2013-ST, if goods are sold on MRP basis they have to be excluded from total amount for the determination of value of service portion. Now my query is that whether service tax would be applicable if liquor, mineral water etc are sold more than their MRP in restaurants and bar.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramesh Purbia
The definition of service exlcudes the transfer of property and therefore there would be no service tax levy on sale of any product.
Respected Madhukar Sir,
Yes, it would be outside the scope of 'service'. Additionally, it tantamount to 'trading of goods' which is covered under negative list.
