Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies GST liability for restaurants supplying food via e-commerce platforms such as Zomato. Effective January 2022, e-commerce operators are now considered the suppliers and are liable to pay GST on these transactions. Restaurants should report these sales as nil-rated supplies in their GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filings, as per recent circulars, to aid in year-end reconciliations.
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
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
