Understanding Goods and Services Tax (GST) in the hospitality sector can be challenging due to differential tax slabs based on room tariffs and restaurant food services.

Current GST Rates on Hotel Accommodations

  • Room tariff up to ₹7,500 per day: 12% GST (6% CGST + 6% SGST).
  • Room tariff above ₹7,500 per day: 18% GST (9% CGST + 9% SGST).
  • Restaurant services inside hotel (with room tariff under ₹7,500): 5% GST without ITC.
