Mcdonald's India — Illegal Tax Collection / Improver Billing

Address:

Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh

I made an order for home delivery from the Restaurant. The VAT has been charged on the services provided (Packaging), and Service Tax was charged on Complete Bill (including the Ordered products), which is completely wrong. Double Taxing has been implied on Service as well as products (food items) 1) Packing Charges which are applicable for Services Tax, has been additionally accounted for VAT (Illegal Tax / Double Taxing) 2) Product/Order Charges which are applicable for VAT, has been additionally accounted for Service Tax (Illegal Tax / Double Taxing) The details have been mentioned underneath..and please find the proof attached with the complaint. The total charge for order (as per menu, exclusive of tax) = Rs. 345/- They took Packing Charges = Rs. 26/- Acc. to Govt. of India, the U.P. VAT is applicable on the Gross Amount, i.e. Rs.345/- in this case. So, @14%, the VAT amount is Rs. 49.56/- only Service Tax @5.6% on the Packing Charges should be Rs. 1.46/- The Total Bill Amount should be (345 + 49.56) + (26 +1.46) = Rs. 422.02/- But they have made a Bill Amount of Rs. 444/- using the illegal taxing procedure as elaborated below - Total Order Charge = Rs.345/- Packing Charge = Rs.26/- ServiceTax @5.6% (charged on Rs371/-, which should had been on Rs26/-) = Rs. 20.79/- VAT @14% (charged on Rs371/-, which should had been on Rs345/-) = Rs. 51.94/- Thus Billing the order amount = Rs.444/- (Rounded off)
