Quick Summary
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate applicable to delivered food can vary. Generally, if the restaurant has an air-conditioned dining area, the GST rate is 18%. However, for services provided by restaurants with a room tariff under £7,500, or for takeaway and delivery services from such establishments, the rate is 5%. Specific scenarios like outdoor catering and services from clubs or guest houses also typically attract an 18% GST.
