New Composition Scheme for Restaurants and Halwais
  Circulars

The Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi has introduced a new composition scheme for restaurants and halwais, effective from April 1, 2016. Under this scheme, registered dealers with an annual turnover of up to Rs. 50 lakhs, selling items like cooked food and beverages, can opt to pay a 5% composition tax. Dealers transitioning from the previous scheme are not required to pay tax on opening stock, as these goods have already incurred VAT. However, they cannot claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on closing stock as of March 31, 2016. Applications for the new scheme must be filed manually until further notice.

SERVICE TAX ON HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS – RECENT DELHI HIGH COURT JUDGMENT
  Articles

The Delhi High Court ruled on the service tax applicability concerning hotels and restaurants. Prior to July 1, 2012, short-term accommodations and air-conditioned restaurant services were subject to service tax under the Finance Act, 1994. Post-2012, a negative list regime was introduced, exempting certain services. The court upheld the validity of service tax on restaurant services but struck down the tax on short-term hotel accommodations, citing it as a luxury tax under state jurisdiction. The ruling emphasized the constitutional delineation of taxing powers between the Union and State, particularly regarding luxury and service taxes.

The court also affirmed the levy of sales tax on the supply of food and drinks in hotels/restaurants under the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, rejecting arguments against this levy. Additionally, the court deemed the classification of hotels based on turnover for tax purposes as valid and confirmed the legislative competence post the Constitution (Forty-sixth Amendment) Act, 1982. All writ petitions were dismissed without costs.

1983 (10) TMI 230 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT
  Case Laws

The court held that the assessees, restaurant owners, were liable to pay sales tax on their transactions of supplying foodstuffs to customers, as the dominant object was sales, not services. The court emphasized the impact of the Constitution (Forty-sixth Amendment) Act, broadening the definition of "tax on the sale or purchase of goods." While the Amendment Act did not apply to pre-Constitution laws like the U.P. Sales Tax Act, 1948, the court upheld the Tribunal's findings and remand orders. The revisions were dismissed, denying exemption based on the Supreme Court decision.

2025 (4) TMI 65 - DELHI HIGH COURT
  Case Laws

The Delhi HC upheld CCPA guidelines prohibiting mandatory service charges in hotels and restaurants. The court ruled that imposing service charges without consumer consent constitutes an unfair trade practice under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. The judgment established that while establishments may suggest voluntary contributions for staff welfare, they cannot compel customers to pay additional charges beyond the displayed prices. The term "service charge" was deemed misleading as it suggests a government levy. Restaurants must now clearly inform customers that such charges are optional and use alternative terminology like "staff welfare fund."
