Government announces GST rates. Hotels hit hard |
| |
As reported by us in our earlier editions of
Creatively Yours, the Government of India is
introducing a nationwide overhaul of its
taxation systems. From a system of multiple
taxes across the different states, India will
now have a unified GST systems where all goods
and services will have the same tax for that
segment across the country.
The rates for the various services have now
been announced. Tour Operators & Travel
Agents were out into a bearable bracket, but
what has surprised everyone is that Hotels &
Restaurants have seen themselves placed in
the highest rate slab of 28%. This has truly
shocked everyone involved with Indian
tourism. The consequence of this is a major
increase in prices of all hotel services,
which will impact international arrivals
into India.
The Indian tourism industry is lobbying
hard for some relief, but so far appeals
have fallen on deaf years. Below are some
links that will highlight the concerns and
steps taken.

UPDATE – Sunday, June 18, 2017
The government has increased the threshold of
the minimum room rate for US$ 77 approx. to USD
116 approx. This will help many base 5 star and
4 star properties. Further details are awaited. |
