Just like other sectors in India, the hospitality industry is liable to pay goods and services taxes (GST). GST gives you the benefits of standardized and uniform tax rates across states and easy and better utilization of input tax credit.
This in turn improves the revenue for the government, and unifies hotel and restaurant taxes throughout the country.
