29 April 2016 No service tax applicable on this service. It will fall under industrial canteen service which is exempted.

29 April 2016 It should be taxable & service tax should be charged on 60% value of service. Rate is 14.5%.


29 April 2016 Mr CA Sandeep Kumar refer Notification 14/2013 it is exempted even the food is out sourced.

29 April 2016 Dear Sir, Pl read this notification carefully & also analysis the complete view of this service. As per my opinion, I brief here, there are two service w.r.t canteen. One is provided by employer to his employee & second is provided by contractor to employer. This notification exempted the service provided by employer to his employee not to the contractor.

30 April 2016 This is the service provided by employer only they have only out sourced it. Hence exempted.
Awarding a contract to supply food in a canteen amounts to supply of food by employer.
Take other experts view available in this regard.
