Yes, tailoring services are taxable under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India. The applicable GST rate depends on the nature of the service provided and the parties involved.

### GST on Tailoring Services
1. **Tailoring Services for Individuals (Unregistered Customers):**
* **GST Rate:** 18%
* **Reason:** Tailoring services provided to individual customers are not considered job work and are subject to the standard GST rate for services.
2. **Tailoring Services as Job Work (Registered Customers):**
* **GST Rate:** 5%
* **Reason:** When tailoring services are provided as job work on fabric belonging to a registered person, they attract a reduced GST rate of 5%. This is applicable when the fabric is supplied by another registered entity, and the service is considered job work under GST law.
---
### GST Registration for Tailors
* **Threshold Limit:** Tailors with an annual turnover exceeding ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special category states) are required to obtain GST registration.
* **Composition Scheme:** Small businesses with a turnover up to ₹50 lakh may opt for the GST Composition Scheme, which allows them to pay tax at a fixed rate on turnover and simplifies compliance.
