Why do we have to pay service tax in restaurants for take-out?
But if I'm not sitting down at a table or receiving table service, why do I have to pay the service tax?
While you may not be receiving table service, the restaurant still incurs costs associated with packaging and preparing your order. Additionally, providing take-out service is a way for restaurants to potentially increase their revenue, so the service tax helps to offset the costs of offering this service.
