ITC on Swiggy commission depends on which GST registration category you are under.
Under regular GST scheme:
- Commission paid to Swiggy is a B2B input service taxable at 18%
- You CAN claim ITC on this commission provided the invoice appears in your GSTR-2B
- Section 17(5) blocks ITC on food and beverages for personal consumption, but the Swiggy commission is not food , it is an input service, so this block does NOT apply to the commission
- ITC claim is subject to matching with GSTR-2B and supplier having filed their GSTR-1
Under composition scheme:
- You CANNOT claim any ITC under Section 10 of CGST Act
- Composition dealers pay a flat rate on turnover and have no ITC entitlement regardless of input service category
For restaurant owners on composition scheme: the commission becomes a cost because no ITC offset is available. For regular scheme restaurants: claim the ITC in GSTR-3B table 4A for the month the invoice appears in GSTR-2B.
