Tele : [protected] Email: [protected]@yahoo.com A 304, Plot No 1 Paradise Appts Sec 9, Dwarka New Delhi Air HQ/26400/P2 19 May 2015 BREAK DOWN OF THE BILL 1. I had dined at your restaurant on 16 May 2015. The bill of the same is attached for your reference. 2. I have been charged 10% Service Charge on the total bill of Rs 557, making the total bill of Rs 612.71. Further on Rs 612.71, I have been charged the following taxes:- (a) On a total of Rs 416.88, I have been charged a VAT of 12.5% amounting to Rs 52.11. (b) On a total of Rs 195.80, I have been charged a VAT of 20% amounting to Rs 39.16. (c) Further I have been charged Service Tax of Rs 40% of Rs 612.71 which is Rs 30.30. (d) Hence on the amount of Rs 557, first I was made to pay Serive Charge. Then on the combined amount of Subtotal and Service Charge, I was made to pay VAT and Service Tax. (e) It means that all the taxes have been applied on the amount of Subtotal + Service Charge. It also means that I was made to pay VAT on Service Charge (even though no value has been added). I was also made to pay Service Tax on Service Charge. 3. So on a total of Rs 557, I have paid Rs 177 as tax which amounts to almost 31%. Additionally, this is the case of double taxation (VAT and Service Tax on Service Charge), which as per my knowledge is not permitted.. 4. Further the bill does not mention the details of the items on which VAT of 12.5% and at 20% has been charged. 5. In view of the same, it is requested that I may be provided with the detailed explanation of the said bill. An early reply will be highly appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation,
