Online food delivery services may attract GST soon. Check details

Online food delivery services through apps could soon attract GST. A meeting of the GST Council on Friday will decide whether app-based food delivery services will attract additional GST.

There could be bad news for individuals who frequently order from online food delivery platforms like Zomato and Swiggy. Food delivery services offered by app-based e-commerce operators (ECOs) may soon attract Goods and Services Tax (GST).

At the upcoming GST Council meeting to be held on September 17, one of the proposals to be discussed during the meeting is to levy GST on restaurant delivery services offered by ECOs such as Swiggy and Zomato.
