Restaurant & Hotel Accounts Quries

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies accounting queries for restaurant and hotel businesses. It addresses whether items like fry pans and mixies below £5,000 are assets or expenses (treated as expenses due to short lifespan). It also explains that GST on provision items like rice and wheat is generally claimable if the GST rate is 12% or 18%, but not on 5% GST. Finally, it confirms that costs for constructing a hotel building, including materials and labour, are capitalised as assets, and crucially, input tax credit (ITC) cannot be claimed on goods or services used for constructing immovable property as per Section 17(5)(d) of the GST Act.

15 June 2020 Dear Sir,

1. I have purchased Fry pan & Mixie for business purpose. That value of the item is Below 5K. Now I treated as Asset or Expenses ???

2. Purchased provision items like rice, wheat & Maida etc for business purpose. we get tax invoice with GST, now I utilize that GST amount or not..

3. And we have own land, so we construct the building for hotel business. So we spend money for Building material purchase (Sand, Cement etc) & Labour charges. Now I treat the cost as asset or expenses.

Please advise.

Thanks in Advance.

16 June 2020 If you pay 5% GST no ITC can be claimed. ITC can be claimed on 12% and 18% GST payment.

19 June 2020 Mr Seetharaman sir,
Correction to Ans. 3rd-
Section 17(5)(d) restrict ITC on goods or services or both received by a taxable person for construction of an immovable property (other than plant or machinery) on his own account including when such goods or services or both are used in the course or furtherance of business.

So any ITC cannot be claimed on inputs used for construction of Building.
