Dear Sir, I am working in a resort. As per the government notifications if the room tariff is ₹7500/- and above, we have to charge gst rate 18% on room tariff as well as on food bill of the restaurant, and we can take the input tax credit on purchases made for the resort. Our resort is 3 star property and our tariff rate goes above ₹7500/- in season only i. e. For 2 or three months. Rest of the year it is below ₹7500/- . My query is do we have to charge gst rate of 18% on food bill for the full year and take input tax credit or only for the months in which the room tariff rate is ₹7500 and above. And if the room tariff rate is below ₹7500/- we can go for 5% gst rate on food bill, where we can not claim input tax credit for the purchases made for the restaurant?. Please advice. Thanks & Regards, Sidney Alvares 9922520980

If your room tariff is above Rs.7500/- then you have to charge 18% irrespective of the fact that sometime the room is rented out at lower price.What is important is room tariff declared/card rate.
