When goods, being food or any other article of human consumption or any drink (whether or not intoxicating) are supplied in any manner as a part of the activity, at a restaurant, service tax is chargeable on 40% of the gross amount.
However, when the same service is in the form of outdoor catering, service tax is chargeable on 60% of the gross amount.
Gross Amount means the sum total of the amount charged and the fair market value of all goods and services supplied in or in relation to the supply of food or any other article of human consumption or any drink (whether or not intoxicating), whether or not supplied under the same contract or any other contract, after deducting-
(i) the amount charged for such goods or services, if any; and
(ii) the value added tax or sales tax, if any, levied thereon.
