Come July, India will witness a new and unified system of tax structure in the form of Goods and Services Tax (GST). Like any other industry, Hotel industry too is preparing itself to work and operate as per this new taxation regime. And as a trusted Hotel Pms Software vendor with largest market share in India, we at IDS Next have also been working relentlessly to help hotels in their pursuit to become GST compliant.

Trouble with the existing taxation system

Presently the hotel industry is affected by multiple tax structures – service tax, luxury tax and VAT, levied by both central government and respective state government. While VAT varies from state to state, luxury tax depends on the proportion of the room tariff and service tax depends on the types of services provided by the hotel. This leads to confusion and sometimes the same service/product is taxed under multiple heads and multiple times leading to higher taxation which goes up to 27%. Additionally, some of the input tax from central and state taxes can’t be set-off against other taxes and this leads to a cascading effect.

How GST will help hotels in this?

Introduction of GST is expected to lower costs for consumers due to tax set-off possibilities. It will also facilitate seamless movement of products and services across the country. With GST in place, the current multiple tax regimes will cease to exist. Thus, it would reduce the compliance costs and issues related to inspections/audits/assessments and help hoteliers do business with ease.
