I hv came across situations where I saw hotels like mcdonalds charging service tax to customers but whereas local restourants are not charging the same and many restourants are charging service tax without mentioning their registration number on bills. Is the service tax applicable to restourants? How can customer come to know whether owner of hotel is really forwarding tax to govt or not?
