What is the GST rate on soda/ cola served on a restaurant?. Whether it is taxable as services @ 5% or taxable as goods @ 18%/28%? These are served in restaurants and no take ways.

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) applicable to soft drinks and sodas served in restaurants. Generally, these are treated as a supply of service, incurring a 5% GST rate. However, an exception applies to restaurants located within hotels where the room tariff exceeds £7,500, which may be subject to different rates.
