Quick Summary
This discussion revolves around the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications for businesses selling ice cream through platforms like Swiggy and Zomato. The core issue is whether businesses can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on ice cream purchases and platform charges when their outward supply GST rate is lower than the input rate. Participants are seeking clarification on claiming ITC for 18% GST paid to dealers and platforms versus the 5% GST charged on ice cream sales via these aggregators, and how to handle GST on packing charges.

The 18% GST paid to the dealer for purchase of ice-cream can be claimed as ITC.

The 18% GST paid to Zomato/Swiggy can be claimed as ITC. GST input can be claimed for packing charges.

GST input cannot be claimed against 5% rate charged for the ice cream.

 

 

My question is my out put tax is 5% and input purchase is 18%. in this senerio can I claim ITC
You cannot claim the ITC as your output tax is 5%.

Here Swiggy/Zomato will pay the GST under RCM right. Why is the liability of 5% is on you here?

Same issue with me....we are ice cream manufacturers and selling ice cream @ 18% with ITC.

However sales through zomato and swiggy are charged @ 5% under RCM

Are we required to pay balance 13% gst as our cost? 

Same issue with me..do we have to proportionate the ITc as sale is in two tax rate one is 18% and other is 5% through..what hv u done?kindly guide

GST treatment of Swiggy sales depends on whether you are under the composition scheme or the regular GST scheme.

Under the REGULAR GST scheme:
- Your sales through Swiggy are taxable at the applicable rate (5% for restaurants without ITC, 12% or 18% for others)
- Swiggy collects 1% GST TCS on the net value of your sales and deposits it in your GST cash ledger ,  it shows in GSTR-2B and can be used to pay output GST
- Report your Swiggy sales in GSTR-1 under Table 7 (B2C large if the sale is above Rs 2.5 lakh to a single recipient) or Table 8 (B2C others for all typical restaurant sales)
- The sale is always to the end customer, not to Swiggy ,  Swiggy is the ECO, not the buyer

Under the COMPOSITION scheme:
- Restaurants under composition pay GST at 5% on turnover (flat, no ITC)
- Swiggy still collects the GST TCS, but since composition dealers cannot claim ITC, this TCS amount sits in the cash ledger and can only be used to pay composition tax output liability
- Report total turnover including Swiggy sales in the quarterly CMP-08 filing

Note: Swiggy charges you commission which is a separate B2B invoice from them to you at 18% GST ,  this is where the ITC question arises (available only for regular scheme dealers).
