If home delivery is provided by restaurant free of cost,question of service tax will not be arised as there is no service at all.

But Restaurants charging extra amount seperately for home delivery,then service tax is levieble on home delivery charges.

If I made it wrong......please correct it

Thank You

S.tax will be levied on ac restaurant even for home delivery...including delivery charges.... But when a a.c. Restaurant only provide food by way of self pickup then s.tax will not be come to picture..
