Hi

 

No. Your services shall not be considered as a restaurant service.

 

ITC shall be available.

Reversals shall be required under Rule 42 and 43 if input services, goods or capital goods are used for providing taxable as well as exempted supplies.

In case, the exempted supply does not use such supplies, no reversals are required.

Hello,

 

No, your stall won't be considered as a restaurant. ITC would be available.

I hope that this answer satisfies your requirement.

Reversal of ITC on inputs, input services, and capital goods is to be made if these are used for providing both taxable and exempted supplies.

ITC on capital goods used for taxable and exempted supplies will have to be reversed. The useful life of such capital asset will be taken as 5 years from the date of purchase.

Sec 17(2) of the CGST Act, 2017 provides that where the goods or services are used partly for effecting taxable supplies (including zero rated) and partly for exempt/ non-business use then the amount of credit as attributable to exempt supplies or non-business use shall be reversed as per Rule 42/43 of the CGST Rules, 2017.

Technically you wont be covered under definition of restaurant, so you can claim ITC.

 

No there is no easy way you will have to undertake this cumbersome exercise.

 

But since you are just selling food which is not specifically covered elsewhere so you might get covered under 9963 and not eligible for ITC.

 

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you.

In my opinion, this would not be essentially a provision of service. This would be categorized as supply of goods only.

 

However, the scenario would be clear only on clarification from the department or AAR.
