Why is there a service tax on restaurants in India?
When you go to a Restaurant, you not only go there to eat food but also avail of various amenities and hospitality services. The Cost of Food as shown in the Menu Card is a composite charge and includes not only charges for the Cost of Raw Material but also for the Cost of the Services rendered. And as these Services are being rendered, the Centre Govt collects Service Tax on the Services rendered.Although Restaurants nowadays are collecting Service Charges separately, but that is not enough to cover the Cost of Services provided and therefore, a portion of the Cost of Services is also included in the Cost per Dish.We don’t always go in a restaurant for both Food + Services. Many a times, people go in a small nearby restaurant not for the services provided but only for the food. In such cases, Service Tax won’t be leviable.To distinguish between whether a customer is going to a restaurant only for the Food or for both Food + Services, the Govt has announced the some conditions for the levy of Service Tax in a Restaurant. you can easily go through them on simple search . It's complicated to mention here. PS- Don't be confused between service tax & service charge . They are totally different terms .
Can I file a complaint for theft in valet parking, where car was parked outside the hotel on the road?
First, you should never leave items of value inside the car when valet parking it. Some of them will even steal an air freshener.Second, if you are going to take the chance and leave an item of value inside the car, you should document it by shooting video of it as you are handing over your car to the valet, with footage of the valet’s face and name tag. And then you should have the video rolling as the car is returned to you, with the video going straight to where your items of value should be, so that if something is missing, you have proof.BUT, it is very risky to trust that things won’t disappear when a car is being valet parked.Third, except for your door, you should have all windows rolled-up, and all doors locked as you are about to hand your car over to the valet… because sometimes valets neglect to verify that all windows are up and all doors are locked when they park it. So by taking this step, it improves the chances that your car’s interior won’t have easy access to anybody who happens to be walking by your valet parked car.Fourth, if something is missing when you get your car back, it should be reported to the valet manager, or the person in charge of the facility, immediately.The facts in the case are not quite clear… did the hotel have secure parking and they were full and valet parked your car on the street? Where did this happen? How much time has passed? What did it cost to valet park?Local police might be interested to know about this crime.I would insist on at least a refund of the valet parking fee, but getting compensation for stolen items will not be easy.The main point is: never leave items of value inside your car when valet parking it. Your chewing gum will disappear, your pens, your spare change, your gun, your weed, whatever. If it has value, there is a strong possibility it could disappear.Also, never give them your entire key ring. Give them only the one key necessary to operate the car. And if you have a garage door opener, don’t leave that in the car either. Or anything with your home address on it.Most valets are honest, hard-working people, but there is a certain percentage who are not.

In the US, what is the concept of validate parking? Who validates your parking, and what does it mean?
Validating Parking is a means by which a shop/restaurant/bank/whatever will effectively pay for your parking if you buy from them.You got a parking ticket when you parked, and then pay a human when you leave the car park based on the amount of time you'd spent.However, certain merchants would have an arrangement with the parking provider that they would physically stamp the parking ticket to confirm the "bona fides" of the customer, and the parking provider would not make a charge to any customer who provided such a stamped ticket.
Do you tip workers coming to your home for warranty repairs?
Um. No. and I spent 8 years as a tipped employee. I have a knee jerk impulse to tip. But still, I also am exhausted with seeing tip jars at Starbucks and Subway. They make a wage and while it's not great, that wage is more than the $3/hr a server makes. I refuse to tip any professional worker who makes a base wage that is reasonable for the job they perform. Mechanics and repair professionals don't depend on tips. I never give one.
Difference between commission and tips?
A commission is a guarantee based on performance. A tip is a bonus based on conformance.
