MRP incl of all taxes was rs 15 on the bottle of water. the restaurant menu said rs 32/- . then the restaurant charged rs 4.46 on rs 32/- that is 14 % vat on it saying it is a beverage .my query is first that is water termed as beverage ? and
second can they charge tax on MRP of bottle which clearly says inclusive of all taxes? Isn,t it charging 14 percent vat on taxes already charged in the MRP printed? could someone please clarify on the said taxes.
my third query is mainly how can the citizen check that taxes collected by traders from them have been deposited with the govt and with whom the rti query be raised , the vendor who collected taxes on behalf of the govt hence is the agent of the government or from the tax deptt of the govt?
