Vat & service tax

Dear friends,

Yesterday I had been to Kamat Hotel, Secunderabad for Lunch. The food bill was Rs. 202.00. They charged Rs. 39.44 towards VAT 14.5% and Service Tax 4.5%.  I felt they the amount charged towards the taxes was slightly higher when compared to the Govt guide lines on VAT and Service Tax. Though the amount paid is not big, I would like to know whether they charged legitemately.

Regards

Adv. Sastry

Service portion of the food supply for human consumotion is taxable if provided in A.C restaurant.VAT will be applicable for sale of food and S.T will be applicable on Service portion.
