Ordering food from Zomato and Swiggy may get costlier from 1 January: Here’s why

Ordering food off Zomato and Swiggy may burn a bigger hole in your pocket from 1 January.

Starting 1 January, the food delivery apps will be liable to pay five percent of Goods and Services Tax on their restaurant services, per government orders.

This new charge may be offloaded to the users of these aggregators — that means you.

What’s cooking?

The GST Council in its 45th meeting in September had recommended that food delivery apps should be made liable to pay five percent tax.

Following this, the finance ministry issued a circular to announce that the new rule will come into effect starting 1 January.

Services provided by cloud kitchens or central kitchens also come under the ambit of restaurant service and attract five percent GST.

The government believes this move will curb tax evasions by restaurants, which, before the new GST rules come into effect, are responsible for collecting and depositing GST.

Estimates showed a loss to the exchequer from the alleged under-reporting by food delivery aggregators at Rs 2,000 crore in the last two years. Making these platforms liable for GST deposits would curb tax evasion.

What does it mean for customers?

As a customer, we are all aware that an order attracts certain taxes.

This new rule, effectively, shouldn’t affect customers as the new rule only implies a transfer of responsibility of collecting and depositing the tax and does not mean new taxes were being announced.

So, in short, you should not be charged extra.

However, Swiggy or Zomato may introduce a fee that justifies the extra work that they are deemed to carry out on behalf of restaurants now.

Who’s affected then?

Smaller restaurants, which have an annual turnover of less than Rs 20 lakh, will be most significantly impacted by the decision.

This is because they didn’t come under the GST ambit earlier.

However, they will now need to pay taxes as it would be collected by the aggregator on their behalf.
