Sir,

As per Section 12 (3) of IGST Act, 2017 " The place of supply of services by way of lodging accommodation by a hotel, inn, guest house, home stay, club or campsite, by whatever name called, and including a house boat or any other vessel shall be the location at which the immovable property or boat or vessel, as the case may be, is located or intended to be located."

Since the place of supply is the location at which the immovable property or boat or vessel, as the case may be, is located or intended to be located and in your case it is within taxable territory (India) only CGST and SGST are payable and IGST cannot be paid on such services.

In view of the above provisions IGAT charged by the Hydrabad hotel is not correct . CGST and SGST charged by Telegana hotel is correct. However credit of the same is not available to you located in Tamilnadu since such credit can be utilised within the state in which the service provider has gst registration.

In case you have branch over there then you may get ITC if you get such bills at your branch offices.

Dear Experts

As per the Section 12(3), all billing by Hotel (within the taxable territory) is subject to CGST & SGST. What are the cases where hotel can charge IGST?

In view of the above query, from the Hyderabad hotel point of view, will they be asked to pay the GST again (CGST & SGST), since wrongly paid as IGST?

Since the customer is unaware of the fact, that IGST is incorrect, he will avail the credit. Will the customer be liable to interest on ITC claimed, if the hotel decides to revise their return?

CGST is a central tax, can ITC be claimed for CGST amount on the bill raised by Telangana hotel?

Charging CGST and SGST is correct. ITC is available.

[YAGAY and SUN]

Charging of CGST + SGST is correct but not ITC would be available since location of provisions of services are at Hyderabad.

Agreed Sir.
