    SERVICE TAX At Restaurants - VERY IMPORTANT !!!
    Interesting.
    I find restaurant bills often so confusing,
    I just give up and pay the amount shown n the bottom line.

    Perhaps we shouldn't.

    Incidentally, I also resent the inclusion of Service Charges in
    restaurant bills, because it assumes that I was satisfied with the
    service. Just a matter of principle. Service Charge should be
    something I leave behind at my personal discretion.
    I recently demanded that the service charge be removed as the service was non-existent. After a short - very short! - discussion, it was removed. About Service Tax..... Be aware


    This happened at the restaurant.

    Let me explain.

    We had been to several restaurants recently. I observed that "service
    tax" was being misused in the way it was being charged to customers.

    Let me give an example.
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    Food and Beverage = Rs. 1000.00

    Service Charges @ 10% = Rs. 100.00

    Service Tax @ 4.94% = Rs. 54.34 (on F&B + Service Charges)

    VAT @14.5% = Rs. 145.00

    Total = Rs. 1299.34


    As per the definition - "Service Tax can be charged ONLY for the

    services provided to the customer".


    Now, see what is happening here in the above example.


    Service Tax should be charged only on the Service Charge amount i.e
    Rs.100 ONLY, and NOT on the entire amount (1000+100).

    In this example, the customer should be charged only Rs 4.94, whereas
    he has been charged Rs. 49.00 extra.

    Where does this money go?
    Only the restaurant owner and the chartered accountants who work for them know.

    · So, I have started asking them the questions - and am
    surprised to see the reaction from famous restaurants. Either they
    say: "Sir we cannot change the format of the bill - so , we will
    recalculate and tell you the revised amount. You may pay only that."

    OR

    · "Sir, you do not need to pay the Service Tax amount itself"!!

    I now have 3 to 4 restaurant bills, but for which I have paid only the
    service tax on the service charge and NOT on the total amount.



    Every bill MUST carry the TIN number and Service Tax Number, if they
    charge it. So . . . , I ask for the Service tax number if it is not
    available in the receipt that they provide.

    As we cannot go to any government official and ask them to get this
    right - because of our system.

    Please remember - we cannot change any political leader - but we can
    change ourselves.

    If we change ourselves - things will change.

    Please do share this with every one of your friends and known people.

    Ask for the right tax calculation
    and
    Pay only the tax which is supposed to be paid.

    Verify every bill and receipt that you make payment on.

    Not sure if I have seen this happening in India but this is a UK bill.

    In US, they automatically charge you for service at 18% if you are a party of 6 and above.

    Friend,

    Timely warning to all.

    Really one must always be alert to check the malpractices adopted by the cunning people at all levels of the shopping.

    Thanks.

    Just wanna share something few days back-----
    I went to PHD- - in rohtak . Bill was around some 1100 INR kuch tha . I always check bill ( although do not know much about service tax , but to make sure I was billed for what I have eaten or ordered ) . I saw a deduction of 10 INR for some charity thing which they have deducted without informing anyone.
    I asked for the manager and enquired about same -then he start selling charity punch line . I just told him
    " Bhai batayega toh sahi 10 INR charity ke liye charge kiye hai , charity voluntary hoti hai aap bina kissi se pooche uske 1 INR bhi nahi kat sakte . Better ask customers if they want to donate or not " .
    Then he agreed on same and apologised . So its personal responsibility .
