Challenges Restaurants & F&B face
Common tax and compliance pain points we solve.
GST rate confusion
Restaurant GST is 5% for most dine-in (no ITC), 12% for AC restaurants in hotels (no ITC), and 18% for restaurants in 5-star hotels. Cloud kitchens and aggregator platforms have different rules.
Zomato/Swiggy TCS credits
Food delivery aggregators collect TCS at 1% and deduct service commissions. Reconciling daily settlements, adjusting for cancelled orders and claiming TCS credits requires specialist knowledge.
Cash sales and daily accounting
Restaurants have high transaction volumes with cash, UPI, card and online orders. Maintaining clean books with daily cash reconciliation is essential for GST and income tax.
Staff payroll and PF/ESI
Restaurants with 10+ employees must comply with EPF (12% employer + 12% employee) and ESI (if applicable). Non-compliance attracts penalties.
