What needs to be levied- VAT or GST -on the alcohol served in restaurants . I have no doubt that food items served will be subject to 5% rate but what about alcohol?
It is notable that alcoholic beverages still attract VAT, which is a state level tax, therefore restaurants serving both food and alcoholic beverages will feature separate taxes with GST being applicable to food and non-alcoholic beverages while VAT will be charged on alcoholic beverages served.
