Hello Sir,

2. What is Bundle services. We are selling room with breakfast fascility. Should be paid service tax under accomodation service@ 7.61 or in Bundle service @ 8.65.
Thanks,
Clarification on Service Tax: 40% on Dine-In, 8.65% on Bundled Services, Increasing to 9.8% from June 2015. An individual inquired about service tax applicability on dine-in and dine-out services in hotels and the concept of bundled services, particularly when selling rooms with breakfast. A respondent clarified that service tax applies to 40% of dine-in charges, while dine-out generally lacks a service element, though many restaurants still charge it. Bundled services combine multiple service elements, and the applicable service tax was 8.65%, increasing to 9.8% from June 1, 2015. The inquirer considered issuing separate invoices for accommodation and restaurant services for tax planning, but the respondent advised against it, as it would not constitute a bundled service.
