Dear members,

 IF a Dealer Registered under the Luxury Tax Act for providing Service Apartments on Rent, is also selling Food items (Consumables) to the customers along with the apartments. then,

1) will he be liable to charge VAT on food items (Consumables) sold to customers, if Yes than will he be required to take seperate VAT TIN number or he can take reference of Luxury Tax number and charge his customers as per Luxury Tax rate.

2) If he is required to take a Seperate VAT TIN number then at what rates he should charge VAT.

Is there any Blanket rate of Tax for Combination of such service provided.

I hope my question is clear to all the members and any other suggestions regarding the query will be obliged
