As of now Zomato will pay GST on food supplied through it.

So rcm would be applicable right?

Actually Zomato will be considered as supplier and therefore zomato will treat it as its outward supplies.

So its not RCM

Oh,
so how will the restaurant show it while filing gstr 1 and 3b?

As per circular for the time being the restaurants will show it as nil rated supply in table 8 of GSTR-1 and correspondingly in 3.1(c) of GSTR-3B. In my opinion even that is not required but follow the circular as it does not have tax implications and will be helpful in reconciliations with Income Tax return at year end

Thank you Sir

You are welcome.........

Zafar sir is there any notification saying registered restaurants need not charge GST on sale to Ecom operators like swiggy zomato ? pls guide

Yes there is a notification. Refer 17/2021 central rate read with section 9(5)

Sir that notification has put Ecom in taxable catagory. but doesn't say reg restaurants need not pay on sale thru Ecom operators. I am confused. even sec 9(5) talks about liability of Ecom only

Section 9(5) says that Ecom will be treated as supplier. Also refer circular 167/23/2021

Thanks sir

You are most welcome

So while filing gst for sales made through cash and directly with customers, where will we file the sale generated through zomato, swiggy?
