Principal basis: If the Tour operator avails any services from another Tour Operator without ITC, Do we charge GST on the Markup Value of 5 % or Total Tour Packages cost or 18 % or 5 % only on Markup?

Example :

We purchase a complete Tour Package from a B2B tour operator for Rs.50,000 ( includes, flight, visa, hotel, transfer, and sightseeing) and facilitate the service to our B2C client with a markup of Rs 1000.
Which option is correct

50,000 * 5% = 2,500, In this format the client gets charged 5 % GST twice.

1000 * 18% = 180

Your valuable assistance is highly appreciated.

Thanks!

ITC is available when one tour operator bill to another tour operator (same line of Business)

So you claim ITC on tax rate 5% inward supply from tour operator & can charge & collect 5% on your outward supply.

Thus go for 1st option customer is required to pay tax only on value addition.
