Servc chrg@5% = 1182.50

VAT@13.5% = 3352.39
Servc TAX@6.18% = 1461.57

19 October 2011 SERVICE CHARGE IS AN AMOUNT COLLECTED NORMALLY AS TIP TO EMPLOYEES AND IS A COMMON PRACTICE WIDELY IN THE INDUSTRY.
AND THE TAXATION STRUCTURE IS CORRECT AS FAR AS THE BANQUET BILLING IS CONCERNED. BANQUET SERCIVE COVERED UNDER CONVENTION SEVICE/ MANDAP KEEPER SERVICE
