Service tax at restaurants

This query is : Resolved 

22 May 2013 Hi,
I know about service tax being charged by the A/c Restaurants Serving food at about 4.944% which is as per the Service Tax as per the budget. But I would like to know 1 thing.
There are shops like KFC, Mac Donald and other having outlets at a Mall's Food court, these are just outlets and not Restaurants, but they do charge Service Tax on the amount of purchase. Are they correct in charging Service Tax ?


22 May 2013 yes they are correct in charging ST..as per latest amendment.Any air conditioned food joint serving food are liable to pay ST.

Earlier non liquor serving joints were out of purview of ST.Now the distinction has been done away with.

Enjoy the meal
