[www.keralites.net] Charges and taxes in restaurants!

 

Charges and taxes in restaurants!


ItemsAmount
Bill of food item+900
Service charge (assuming 6%)+54
Sub Total=954
Service tax to be levied on (40% of sub-total)
(381.6)
Service tax (at the rate of 12.36%)+47.16576
VAT @ 12.5% of the sub-total+119.25
Total amount to be paid=1120.416
Many times, restaurants charge the highest rate on the total bill. This is a general complaint by almost all the customers.
 
Conclusion
Most of the times, we cannot do anything about overcharging. The reasons are not only our unwillingness but also the ignorance of restaurant managers. In many cases though, you can question these items and get your bill corrected. Please remember that this will not be easy. However, you can always question and explain this to the restaurant manager and get your bill corrected. There have been cases where customers were able to reduce their bill!
