According to the GST law, a tour operator is a person who provides services related to planning, scheduling, organizing, arranging tours, or packages of tours, which may include transportation, accommodation, sightseeing, or other similar services1.

A tour operator can opt for either of the following GST rates for his services2:

5% without input tax credit (ITC) on the value of supply
18% with full ITC on the value of supply
The tour operator has to choose one of these rates for a financial year and cannot change it for every transaction. He has to inform the GST authorities about his choice of rate before the due date of filing the first return for that financial year2.
