As ECOs are already registered in accordance with rule 8 (in Form GST-REG 01 ) of the CGST Rules, 2017 (as a supplier of their own goods or services), there would be no mandatory requirement of taking separate registration by ECOs for payment of tax on restaurant service under section 9(5) of the CGST Act, 2017. Would the ECOs be liable to pay tax on supply of restaurant service made by unregistered business entities? Yes. ECOs will be liable to pay GST on any restaurant service supplied through them including by an unregistered person.

Can the supplies of restaurant service made through ECOs be recorded as inward supply of ECOs (liable to reverse charge) in GSTR 3B?

Would ECOs be liable to reverse proportional ITC on his input goods and services for the reason that ITC is not admissible on restaurant service ? ECOs provide their own services as an electronic platform and an intermediary for which it would acquire inputs/input service on which ECOs avail ITC. The ECO charges commission/fee etc. for the services it provides. The ITC is utilised by ECO for payment of GST on services provided by ECO on its own account (say, to a restaurant). The situation in this regard remains unchanged even after ECO is made liable to pay tax on restaurant service. ECO would be eligible to ITC as before.

Who will issue invoice in respect of restaurant service supplied through ECO - whether by the restaurant or by the ECO?
