Composite Supply
Often hotels provide foods or meal along with their accommodation service. This natural combination of two services is known as composite supply.
As per section 2(30) of CGST Act, a composite supply means a supply of two or more taxable goods or services or both, which are naturally bundled and supplied together in the ordinary course of business.
In this type of transaction, we need to identify the PRINCIPLE SUPPLY which will help us to determine the GST rate for the whole transaction.
Example: Under an offer at Hotel Taj, Mr.Ram books a room with Lunch at Rs.10,000 (excluding GST). The tariff rate of the room was Rs.9,000 (without GST) and Restaurant rate of that lunch was Rs.1,500 (without GST). GST rate of Hotel is 28% and Restaurant is 18%.
Calculate net GST amount.
Solution: Here principle supply is accommodation service by the hotel so GST rate of the hotel will be applied on the whole transaction amount.
Therefore, GST payable = Rs.2,800/- (10,000 * 28%)
