Dear Sir, Suppose x is factory under a public limited company registered under factory act. The company has a canteen where he provides food to employees to their employees at concessional rate.Even employees are getting food at concession rate, they are getting lunch allowance as part of their salary. The company has enter into a contract with a outdoor cater (A Private limited Company) for supply of food by using company canteen and kitchen. The outdoor cater raise bill in the name of the company at the end of the month and charge service tax @12.36% under outdoor catering services. My Question is 1) Can the door cater get service tax exemption under NT No 13/2014 by introduction of Sr No 19A. 2) If the company (Servicer Receiver) is paying the ST then can he eligible for Service tax credit as in put service.

Respected sir, The carterer shall get exemption under entry serial no. 19A of Notification no. 25/2012-ST inserted vide Notification No. 14/2013-ST only when he follows the following conditions:- 1. The service shall be of providing food or beverages 2. The service shall be provided in a canteen maintained in a factory covered under the Factories Act, 1948. Under Factories Act, if there are 250 employees regularly employed in the factory then it is necessary to maintain a canteen in factory premises. 3. Such canteens have the facility of air conditioning or central air heating at any time during the year. If these conditions aren’t complied with then exemption shall not be available. But he can take abatement of 40% as specified in Rule 2C of Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006. This is dispute between department and assessee. Department says that it is clearly excluded from the definition of “input service” in exclusion clause as it is used for personal use of employees. But the assessee can plead that the same is legally required to be provided, hence the credit should be allowed. {Query solved by:- Prayushi Jain}
