General GST info for hosts in India

Tax collection and remittance by Airbnb for hosts in India

Airbnb Hosts who expect their annual commercial turnover from sale of goods and services to be at or below INR 20 lakhs (at or below INR 10 lakhs in special category states identified under Article 279A(4)(g) of the Constitution of India) are currently exempt from registering for Goods and Services Tax (GST) purposes. For these Hosts, Airbnb will remit the entire GST collected from the guests directly to the tax authorities.

Hosts who expect their annual commercial turnover from sale of goods and services to be over the GST registration threshold of INR 20 lakhs (or INR 10 lakhs in special category states identified under Article 279A (4)(g) of the Constitution of India) are liable to register for GST and obtain a GST number (GSTIN). For these Hosts, it is the Hosts’ responsibility to remit the GST on reservations (net of any tax collected at source (TCS) deducted) to the tax authorities and it is Airbnb’s responsibility to deposit TCS against the GSTIN(s) provided by Hosts.

Current GST rates

Airbnb collects GST from guests on behalf of Airbnb Hosts who reside in India and have listings in India at the following prescribed slab rates:

Accommodation charge per unit, per night tax rate:

• Up to 7,500 INR: 12%
• 7,501 INR and above: 18%

The accommodation charge per unit per night is calculated as the reservation gross booking amount divided by the number of nights on the reservation. The tax rates are set by the Government of India and cannot be changed.

Airbnb service fees and GST

Airbnb service fees will not be calculated based on GST. Instead, the service fees will be calculated from the booking subtotal (before fees and taxes).

For GST-registered hosts

Receiving the GST collected by Airbnb from guests to pay tax authorities

Add your GSTIN(s) here so that we know you are a GST-registered host. For bookings accepted after you add your GSTIN, we will send the GST to you for your remittance to the tax authorities.

If you did not add your GSTIN to your account, Airbnb is unable to payout GST retrospectively for reservation payouts that have already occurred.

If you’re already receiving GST payouts

If you’ve already added GST to your listings using the additional taxes feature, you still need to add your GSTIN(s) to Taxes in your account to ensure you continue to receive GST payouts. Please also remove all GST settings added through the additional taxes feature to avoid double-charging of taxes to guests.

When to expect your GST payouts

After you add your GSTIN to Taxes in your account, we’ll send your GST payout about 24 hours after a guest checks into your place. Your bank and payout method will determine how long it will take for your funds to arrive in your account. Find out more about when you'll get your payout.

Updating or amending a GSTIN submitted previously

Go to the GST Registration Page and update your GSTIN by replacing an existing GSTIN in the field. Airbnb will deposit TCS against your updated GSTIN on a prospective basis and is unable to amend past TCS returns.

Why some listings collect GST while others do not

GST is charged when 1) the host has an India country of residence (COR) and 2) the listing address is located in India. Please ensure you fill in all listing addresses accurately. If this issue persists, please contact Airbnb.

Registering for GST

Submit your registration on the Goods and Services Tax Network here. Please consult a professional on your GST obligations based on your circumstances.

Add your GSTIN(s) to Taxes in your account as soon as you obtain the GSTIN(s), to ensure that you can receive GST payouts on bookings to comply with your GST obligations.

For GST-unregistered hosts

Removing your GSTIN from your account and stopping GST collection on listings

If you are no longer required to be registered for GST and have deregistered, you should review all listings and associated GSTINs on the GST Registration Page and remove any GSTIN that are no longer valid.

Hosts can update their GSTIN by replacing an existing GSTIN in the field, or delete their GSTIN entirely from the field.

For listings without an associated GSTIN, Airbnb will collect any applicable GST from the guests and remit the GST to the tax authorities.

Declaring income as an unregistered host if Airbnb is collecting and remitting GST

If the host does not have a GSTIN because they have not crossed the GST registration threshold, they should not be required to file any GST returns, and thus the question of disclosure on the GST returns should not arise as well.

Where to find proof of GST collected and remitted by Airbnb to the tax authorities

It is Airbnb’s responsibility to remit the entire GST collected from the guests directly to the tax authorities in respect of reservations with GST-unregistered hosts. For hosts that did not provide GSTIN(s) here, Airbnb treats such hosts as GST-unregistered and remits the entire GST collected from guests directly to the tax authorities in one lump sum on a monthly basis.

If you are not liable to register for GST, you should not be required to file any GST returns or remit any GST to the tax authorities. Thus, there should not be a need to ask for such proof.

How the GST threshold is determined for special category (SC) states

Generally, the threshold is determined by the state that the listing is in, and not by the state the host resides in. Please check with your tax consultants on the GST implications of your specific circumstances.

GST for an entire home with multiple rooms vs. individual rooms listed separately on Airbnb

The term used in the GST regulation is ‘per unit per day’. Thus, if the host reflects an entire home with multiple rooms as a single unit, the home should be treated as a single unit for computing the GST rate (and not based on the number of rooms).

If the host reflects each room as a separate unit with individual room rates, each room will be treated as a separate unit. For example, if a guest books 4 rooms in the same home at the per room rate, then the GST implications would be calculated at a per room rate.
