21 May 2013 we are running a restaurant, providing kitty parties of 20 to 25 persons. We are charging as under:

Rs. 1000/- per person + vat 12.5% + service tax with 60% abatement.

and hall charges of Rs. 5000/- .

Now question is : In which category of Services we should consider hall charges. i.e. under Business Auxiliary Services (In which we have to pay service tax on 100% amount) OR

under short term Accommodation services (In which we have to pay services tax on 50% amount) and

also whether we have to charges luxury tax if so how much amount.
