Hello,

I'm starting an online food delivery service which will cover a few areas in Mysuru, Karnataka.

I'll be delivering food where customers will be able to order food via my own android app and website. I've registered for GST as well.

My queries are,

1. Whether I should be collecting GST from customers on the food that they order and if yes how much is the GST rate applicable? I don't know my annual turnover yet as I'm starting new.

2. If I attach my food business to food aggregators like Zomato, Swiggy, etc in addition to selling from my own website + app, then how much (if applicable) should I be charging GST and can I use my existing GST to sell from both my website + app and Zomato, Swiggy etc.

Thanks.
