#First Opinion
“Federation of Hotel & Restaurant Associations of India (FHRAI) has raised serious concerns over industry’s long pending request of delinking of GST charged on Food & Beverage Services for restaurants operating within hotel premises from the room tariffs of that particular hotel. The hospitality industry has long struggled with the operational complexities imposed by linking F&B rates to room tariffs. This policy not only deviates from GST’s core principles of neutrality and simplicity but also disproportionately impacts high-tariff and midscale hotels. Delinking F&B rates from accommodation tariffs will empower the industry to adjust pricing based on market dynamics and customer demand, fostering growth across all segments.”
