I have read that in restaurants service tax is chargeable only on service charges and not on total food bill. Is it correct? If yes then kindly give reference to the relevant clause of the act so that I may keep the extract of the same with me and show it to the staff there. If some restaurant does not charge "service charge" in that case is any service tax is payable?

Service tax payable on 40% value of food supplied in AC restaurants(assumed 40% as service). Service tax payable even if no service charge charged.
