TOUR OPERATOR, Service Tax

[ANUJ KUMAR]

Dear Sir,

 

Suppose I am running a Hotel with air-conditions Restaurant and applicable rates of Service Tax are 7.416 percent on room Rent, 4.944 percent on food and 12.36 percent on Guide fee.

 

If, I make package for my Hotel which include stay, food, guide fee, & Pick up from Railway Station/ Bus station. Will this package will fall under the category of Tour Operator. Tour Operator is Taxable under the service tax at the rate of 3.09 percent .  

Pl. Comment

If it is a package and declared as such in advertisement, order and bill then it can be considered to be a naturally bundled service as it is common in the hospitability industry. Possible to claim the abatement [ pl confirm that the conditions of that abatement are met]
