gst on hotel rooms special cases

277 views 5 replies
concern - I have a special case of a hostel chain In Bangalore. They have more than 11 hostels in Bangalore with more than 2000 students. Before GST, they use to charge 13.5k Lum-sum per month per student (+50k security) but after GST, they have declared 9000 as accommodation per student and 4.5k on Mess charges per month per student. Currently, they have started charging 12% GST(approx. INR 550 extra) on food but no GST on accommodation charges, They are not paying any GST on accommodation. Is it fair that a person with more than 2cr accommodation revenue has been exempted from Tax? (Few facts - 2 students are staying in one room, the hostel company is a sole proprietorship, accommodation cost to the owner for one complete room with 2 students is 8k(so accommodation profitability per room is 10k after deducting this cost). Can somebody help me whether this person will be exempted from accommodation tax)?

yes because accommodatiom is related with residential rent purpose they treat as a residential rent and according to govt. rent on residential area is fully exempt no need to register under gst for residential rent.

As per clarification given by our Finance minister on 12-07-17, hostels run by institute for student is exempted not private. So it will attract 18% GST

Yes...
It's to Students so exempted. Otherwise it's taxable.
