Please go through: https://www.cbec.gov.in/htdocs-servicetax/st-profiles/cosmtc-surgery

The new rates applicable at present are 14% + 0.5%SBC + 0.5%KKC i.e. = 15% total

In case of cosmetic surgery undertaken and where patient is has to be hospitalized, entire hospital bill shall be liable to service tax. This may include professional fee to doctors, fee of anesthesiologist, pre operative care, clinical, operation and operation theatre charges, room charges and medicines etc.

In case the same fee is directly paid, say, to anesthesiologist, then in such cases, service tax may not be payable on such fees paid to him.

Which in turn means we need to charge ST only on surgery component and not on other charges ? M I correct in the understanding.

Above post is very much clear for the charging componenets. Entire hospital bill except directly paid charges to anesthesiologist etc. is chargeble to service tax.
