CA for Hotels & Hospitality Businesses
GST, accounting and compliance for the hospitality industry
Expert CA services for hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, guesthouses, travel agencies, and hospitality businesses — covering complex GST rate structures, OTA reconciliation, payroll, F&B accounting, and statutory compliance.
Challenges Hotels & Hospitality face
Common tax and compliance pain points we solve.
GST rate complexity — rooms, F&B, banquets
Hotels face tiered GST rates: rooms ≤ ₹7,500/night at 12%, rooms > ₹7,500/night at 18%, F&B in restaurants at 5% (no ITC) or 18% (with ITC if room tariff > ₹7,500), banquet hall rentals at 18%. Getting these wrong in GSTR-1 means penalties and ITC issues.
OTA commissions and TCS reconciliation
Booking.com, Expedia, MakeMyTrip, and Agoda deduct commission before remittances. These need separate accounting for services received (with RCM for foreign OTAs) and TCS deducted by Indian OTAs. Reconciling OTA payouts with PMS records is complex.
TDS on rent for hotel premises
Hotels paying rent above ₹50,000/month must deduct TDS at 10% under Section 194I. Banquet hall and venue hirers deducting TDS must be tracked and credits claimed in ITR.
