Dear Querist,

See Notification No.24/12-ST dated 6.6.12 effective from 1.7.12. Service portion has been specified under Rule 2 C. (Determination of value of service portion...................). You cannot call it abatement other wise. (Service Portion specified as 40%). Abatement is under Notification No.26/12-ST.

Sir,

As per rule 2C of Service tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006 "Subject to the provisions of section 67, the value of service portion, in an activity wherein goods being food or any other article of human consumption or any drink (whether or not intoxicating) is supplied in any manner as a part of the activity at a restaurant or as outdoor catering is 40% of the total amount charged".

Sri Kasturi Sir, thanks for clearing the difference between abatement and valuation.
