Dominoz Pizza India is collecting excess VAT by calculating VAT on service tax also. VAT is something which has to be calculated upon only consumables. As you can see the attached image of a bill which is of a recent visit to Dominos Pizza, Bagh Amberpet, Hyderabad

The consumables amount is 858.03 which includes 810 for Pizzas ans 48.03 for the soft drink. Now since service tax can be calculated only on pizza costs, the service tax which is 14.5% on 40% of the bill translated to 5.8% of the total bill. So 5.8% on 810 which is only the pizza cost comes to 46.98. Now VAT has to be calculated upon 858.03 which comes to 124.41 but instead Dominos is calculating VAT on consumables+service tax. So its calculating VAT on 858.03(Consumables)+46.98(Service Tax) =905.01 which is illegal. This way VAT comes to 131.23. They are pocketing the difference of Rs. 6.82 without customers raising a doubt. Consumers don't see the calculation as they believe a computer bill to be 100% correct.
