What Are GST Returns for Restaurants

A GST return for restaurants is a periodic declaration filed on gst.gov.in reporting all food and beverage sales, ITC claimed (if eligible at 18%), and net tax payable. Restaurant services are classified under HSN/SAC 9963 at either 5% or 18%.

Standalone restaurants pay 5% GST without ITC. Hotel restaurants (room tariff Rs 7,500+) pay 18% with full ITC. Swiggy/Zomato collect 5% under S9(5). Composition scheme: 1% on turnover, quarterly CMP-08.

Return filing involves dine-in, takeaway, platform-mediated (S9(5)), and catering sales. For complete restaurant compliance, pair with FSSAI registration and shop act registration.

Key Terms for Copyright Registration:

  • GSTR-1 - Monthly outward supply return for restaurants (by 11th)
  • S9(5) - Swiggy/Zomato collect 5% GST on food delivery
  • CMP-08 - Quarterly composition scheme return (up to Rs 1.5 Cr)
  • HSN 9963 - Restaurant and food services classification code

5 Common Restaurant GST Challenges in Gurugram

ChallengeImpactHow Patron Accounting Solves It
ITC Claimed at 5% RateRestaurant at 5% GST claims ITC on purchases. Error: 5% = no ITC. Full reversal demand with interest5% restaurants cannot claim ITC on anything. Zero ITC. If you need ITC, check if 18% applies (hotel, catering).
S9(5) Reconciliation FailureCloud kitchen reports Swiggy sales in GSTR-1 but Swiggy already deposited GST under S9(5). Double-reportingMatch platform settlement reports with GSTR-1. S9(5) supplies reported separately. No double GST payment.
Composition Scheme ViolationsRestaurant under composition supplies inter-state (not allowed) or exceeds Rs 1.5 crore without switchingMonitor turnover. Switch to regular before crossing Rs 1.5 crore. No inter-state supply under composition.
Rate MisclassificationHotel restaurant charges 5% when room tariff is Rs 7,500+. Should be 18%. Or vice versa. Incorrect rate = noticeCheck room tariff quarterly. Rs 7,500+ = 18% with ITC. Below = 5% no ITC. Document classification basis.
Liquor Revenue Mixed with Food GSTSector 29 bar includes liquor in GST invoices. Liquor is state excise not GST. Over-reporting GST turnoverSegregate food (GST) from liquor (state excise). Bill separately. Only food attracts GST. POS configuration.
