1.

W.e.f. 01.04.2025, the definition of specified premises shall be as

under:

“Specified premises”, for a financial year, means,-

(a) a premises from where the supplier has provided in the

preceding financial year, ‘hotel accommodation’ service

having the value of supply of any unit of accommodation

above seven thousand five hundred rupees per unit per

day or equivalent; or

(b) a premises for which a registered person supplying ‘hotel

accommodation’ service has filed a declaration, on or

after the 1st of January and not later than 31st of March

of the preceding financial year, declaring the said

premises to be a specified premises; or

(c) a premises for which a person applying for registration has

filed a declaration, within fifteen days of obtaining

acknowledgement

for

the

registration

application,

declaring the said premises to be a specified premises;

As per the above definition, a premises from which ‘hotel

accommodation’ services, having the value of supply of any unit

of accommodation more than Rs. 7,500 per unit per day or

equivalent have been supplied in a FY, becomes a ‘specified

premises’ for the subsequent FY.

At the same time, a supplier of hotel accommodation service,

whether an existing registrant or a new applicant, has also been

given an option to declare the premises from which supplies are

made/will be made, as a specified premises for a Financial Year.

2.

What is the rate of tax

notified by the

Government for

‘Restaurant Service’

supplied in ‘Specified

Premises’?

Entry 7(vi) of notification No. 11/2017-CTR dated 28.06.2017

prescribes the rate of 18% with ITC for restaurant services

supplied at specified premises.

For restaurant services supplied outside specified premises, the

rate of 5% without ITC is applicable as per entry 7(ii) of

notification No. 11/2017-CTR dated 28.06.2017.

3.

What will be the

change in the

definitions of

‘declared tariff’ and

‘specified premises’

pre and post

01.04.2025?

For the period prior to 01.04.2025, “specified premises” shall

mean premises providing ‘hotel accommodation’ services having

declared tariff of any unit of accommodation above seven

thousand five hundred rupees per unit per day or equivalent.

For the period prior to 01.04.2025, “declared tariff” shall mean

charges for all amenities provided in the unit of accommodation

16

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 1

(EXTRAORDINARY)

07TH APRIL, 2025

(given on rent for stay) like furniture, air conditioner, refrigerators

or any other amenities, but without excluding any discount

offered on the published charges for such unit.

With effect from 01.04.2025, the definition of “declared tariff”

shall be omitted.

For the period starting from 01.04.2025, the value of supply of

hotel accommodation in the previous FY, i.e., the transaction

value charged for the said supply, would be the basis for

determining whether the premises providing hotel accommodation

service mandatorily falls under the category of ‘specified

premises’ or not in the current FY. The revised definition of

‘specified premises’, to be brought into effect from 01.04.2025,

has been worded accordingly.

4.

What is the objective

of the change in the

definition of specified

premises with effect

from 01.04.2025, as

notified vide

Notification No.

05/2025-Central

Tax(Rate) dated

16.01.2025?

The said change is being brought about with the following

objectives:

(a) to replace the notion of ‘declared tariff’ with ‘value of

supply’ (i.e. transaction value) in the definition of

specified premises, since the GST rate applicable to

supply of hotel accommodation service is also dependent

on the value of supply only, in view of the fact that the

hotel industry has largely moved to a dynamic pricing

model.

(b) to make the ‘specified premises’ status of a premises

providing hotel accommodation service, in the current

FY, dependent upon the ‘value of supply’ of units of

accommodation provided by the premises providing hotel

accommodation service in the previous FY. This will give

certainty regarding the ‘specified premises’ status of a

hotel for any Financial Year;

(c) to give an option to the supplier of hotel accommodation

service to declare the premises as ‘specified premises’ so

that the restaurants located in the said premises can avail

the rate of 18% with ITC on the supply of restaurant

service.

5.

Who

can

file

a

declaration to declare

that a premise is a

specified premise? By

which date is the

declaration

to

be

filed?

A registered person supplying hotel accommodation service can

file a declaration declaring the premises, from which the hotel

accommodation services are supplied, to be a ‘specified

premises’, for a financial year. This declaration will be required to

be filed in the format notified as Annexure VII to Notification

No. 11/2017-CT(Rate) dated 28.06.2017. This declaration will

have to be filed between 1st January and 31st March of the

financial year preceding the financial year for which the

registered person intends to declare the premises as ‘specified

premises’.

A declaration can also be filed by a person applying for

registration (who intends to supply hotel accommodation

services)

declaring

the

premises,

from

where

hotel

accommodation services are to be supplied, to be a ‘specified

premises’. This declaration will be required to be filed in the

format notified as Annexure VIII to Notification No. 11/2017-

17

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 1

(EXTRAORDINARY)

07TH APRIL, 2025

CT(Rate) dated 28.06.2017. This declaration will have to be filed

within 15 days of obtaining acknowledgement (ARN) of the

application for registration in FORM GST REG-02.

Illustration: ‘A’ (an unregistered person) is starting a new

business wherein he intends to supply hotel accommodation

service from his premises and also wants to operate as a

‘specified premises’. He applies for GST registration on 02nd May,

2025 and receives ARN number on 02nd May, 2025. He has to file

the declaration Annexure VIII, within 15 days, i.e., on or before

16th May, 2025 before the jurisdictional authority.

Anyone who is not supplying/intending to supply hotel

accommodation service cannot file this declaration.

Illustration: A mall owner, who may have rented out part of his

mall premises to a supplier of hotel accommodation service as

well as to other multiple restaurants operating from his/her mall,

would not be eligible to file this declaration as he himself is not a

supplier of hotel accommodation service. The supplier of hotel

accommodation service operating in this mall can declare the

premises from which hotel accommodation services are supplied

as a specified premises. This will make the restaurants located in

the said hotel premises liable to pay tax at the rate of 18% with

ITC. Restaurants located in the mall, but outside the said hotel

premises, will not be affected by this declaration, and will

continue to pay GST at the rate of 5% without ITC.

6.

What will be the

validity of the above

declarations?

In order to facilitate ease of compliance, the ‘opt-in’ declarations

(Annexures-VII and VIII of Notification No. 11/2017-CT(Rate))

will be valid until the taxpayer decides to ‘opt-out’ by filing a

declaration in Annexure IX of the same Notification declaring

that the premises shall not be a ‘specified premises’.

This ‘opt-out’ declaration shall have to be filed between 1st

January and 31st March of the financial year preceding the

financial year from which the taxpayer wants to ‘opt-out’. Similar

to the ‘opt-in’ declaration, the ‘opt-out’ declaration shall also be

valid until the taxpayer decides to ‘opt-in’ again using the

declaration in Annexure-VII.

The above mechanism of ‘opt-in’ and ‘opt-out’ will obviate

repeated annual filing of these declarations before the beginning

of each Financial year.

It is emphasized that the status of a premises as a ‘specified

premises’ or ‘not a specified premises’ shall remain the same for

the entirety of a financial year (or, in case of new registrations, for

the remainder of the financial year) and cannot be changed during

the financial year. The ‘opt-in’ and ‘opt-out’ declarations, which

are to be filed between 1st Jan and 31st March of any FY, shall take

effect only from 1st of April of the next FY.

Illustration:

‘A’ is a supplier of hotel accommodation service who has not

supplied any unit of accommodation at value of supply above Rs.

18

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 1

(EXTRAORDINARY)

7500/- in the FY 2025-26. However, ‘A’ would like to operate as a

‘specified premises’ for FY 2026-27 till FY 2029-30. Thereafter,

from FY 2030-31 onwards, ‘A’ does not want to operate as a

‘specified premises’.

‘A’ has to file opt-in declaration (Annexure VII) between 1st

January, 2026 and 31st March, 2026 and the declaration will be

valid for the subsequent years.

‘A’ has to file opt-out declaration (Annexure IX) anytime between

1st January, 2030 to 31st March, 2030, so that he shall no longer

be a ‘specified premises’ for FY 2030-31 onwards.

7.

I am a supplier of

hotel accommodation

service, and I had

supplied a unit of

accommodation at

value of supply above

Rs. 7,500/- in the

year.

Do I automatically

fall under the

category of ‘specified

premises’ in the

current Financial

Year, or was I

required to file a

declaration to this

effect before the

beginning of the

current financial year?

If you have supplied a unit of accommodation at value above Rs.

7,500/- in the preceding financial year, then you automatically and

mandatorily fall under the scope of ‘specified premises’ for the

current financial year, and you need not file a declaration to this

effect.

8.

In case I have not

supplied any unit of

accommodation at

value above Rs.

7,500/- in the current

financial year, and I

still want to fall under

the scope of

‘specified premises’

for the next Financial

Year, how can I do

so?

You can do so by filing a declaration (Annexure VII of

notification No.11/2017-CTR dated 28.06.2017) between 1st

January and 31st March of the current financial year.

9.

What will be the

modality of filing the

above declarations?

The

declarations

for

FY

2025-26

shall

be

filed

physically/manually before the jurisdictional GST authorities till

the time electronic filing of these declarations is enabled.

jurisdictional

authority?

11.

Do I (supplier of hotel

accommodation

service) need to file a

declaration every year

to continue to

function as a

'specified premise’?

(i) For registered persons supplying hotel accommodation

service

No. Once a declaration as per Annexure VII is filed in

the preceding year, the said declaration will apply to the

current year and subsequent Financial Years also, unless

the person declares the premises as not a ‘specified

premises’ by filing another declaration in the format

specified at Annexure IX.

(ii) For a person applying for registration

Once a declaration as per Annexure VIII is filed, the said

declaration will be valid from the effective date of

registration for the remainder of the current year in which

the person has applied for registration and it will apply to

the subsequent Financial Years also, unless the person

declares the premises as not a ‘specified premises’ by

filing another declaration in the format specified at

Annexure IX.

12.

Can I file a

declaration at the time

of obtaining a new

GST registration?

Yes. The declaration Annexure VIII can be filed within 15 days

of obtaining an acknowledgment for the registration application in

FORM GST REG-02, and it shall remain valid from the effective

date of registration for the remainder of the Financial Year and

shall apply to the subsequent Financial Years also, unless the

person declares the premises as not a ‘specified premises’ by

filing another declaration in the format specified at Annexure IX.

However, it may be noted that since the revised definition of

‘specified premises’ will come into effect only from 01.04.2025,

hence any declarations filed in Annexure VIII before 31.03.2025,

by persons applying for registration, will only be effective for FY

2025-26 onwards.

I am a supplier of

hotel accommodation

service having

multiple premises

under a single GST

registration. I have

not supplied any unit

of accommodation at

value above Rs.

7,500/- in the

preceding financial

year from any of the

premises.

Does the declaration

filed as per Annexure

VII/IX apply to all

my premises? Or do I

have to file separate

declarations for each

of my premises?

The declarations as per Annexure VII/IX apply to only one

premises, and the supplier of hotel accommodation service shall

have to file separate declarations for each of the premises from

where hotel accommodation service is supplied.

It may also be added that any premises from which hotel

accommodation service for any unit has been provided for a value

of supply of greater than Rs. 7500 in the preceding financial year,

automatically and mandatorily becomes ‘specified premises’ for

the current financial year and no declaration needs to be filed for

such premises.

are not, what will be

the treatment of input

tax

charged on goods and

services used in

means that credit of input tax charged on goods or services used

exclusively in supplying restaurant services other than at specified

premises should not be taken and credit of input tax charged on

goods or services used partly for supplying restaurant services

other than at specified premises and partly for effecting other

the premises from

where I supply hotel

What would be the

applicable GST rate

for restaurant service

supplied by restaurant

‘X’ and restaurant

‘Y’?

The address of the premises providing hotel accommodation

service inside the mall, declared in Annexure VII filed by the

supplier of hotel accommodation service, becomes a ‘specified

premises’ by virtue of the declaration filed. Restaurants located

inside the said address have to charge GST @18% for restaurant

services being supplied from ‘specified premises’.

Therefore, Restaurant ‘X’ shall have to charge GST @18% with

ITC for their restaurant services.

Restaurant ‘Y’ is not located within the address declared by the

supplier of hotel accommodation service who has filed Annexure

VII.

Therefore, restaurant ‘Y’ is not located in the ‘specified premises’

and therefore, shall have to charge GST @ 5% without ITC for

their restaurant services.

What should I do?

22.

Revised definition of

‘specified premises’

are to come into force

When can I file a

declaration to opt-in

to operate as a

‘specified premises’

for the FY 2025-26?

The revised definition of ‘specified premises’ shall come into

force w.e.f. 01.04.2025. However, in order to enable filing of

declarations for FY 2025-26, the opt-in and opt-out declarations,

have been brought into effect from 16.01.2025 vide Notification

No. 05/2025-CT(Rate) dated 16.01.2025.

This declaration (Annexure VII) can be filed physically/manually

before the jurisdictional authority anytime till 31st March, 2025.

The option to opt-out, in case of change in decision, also can be

filed before 31st March, 2025 before the jurisdictional authority.

For a person, who has applied for or has obtained registration

during the period 16th January, 2025 to 31st March, 2025, the

person shall have to file declaration (Annexure VIII) before the

31st March, 2025.

Annexure VIII in this case would apply for the subsequent FY i.e.,

FY 2025-26 and would not be applicable for FY 2024-25, as the

revised definition of ‘specified premises’ shall come into force

only from FY 2025-26 onwards.

Further, once opted in for FY 2025-26 by filing Annexure VIII,

such person shall not be able to opt-out for the FY 2025-26.

For a person who has applied for registration after 01st April,

2025, s/he shall have to file declaration (Annexure VIII) before

the jurisdictional authority and the declaration shall be valid for

the remaining period of the financial year in which the person has

applied for registration, i.e., FY 2025-26. The declaration shall

continue to be valid for subsequent years unless the person

declares the premises to not be a ‘specified premises’ by filing a

declaration in the format specified at Annexure IX.

23.

Are the revised

provisions of

‘specified premises’

also applicable to

catering services?

Yes, the revised definition of ‘specified premises’ is also

applicable for determining the rate applicable on catering

services, as specified at Sl. No. 7 of Notification No. 11/2017-

CT(Rate) dated 28.06.2017.

24.

For the financial year

2024-25, I have

supplied at least one

unit of

accommodation

For a supplier of hotel accommodation service, who has supplied

any unit of accommodation for more than Rs. 7500 per unit per

day or equivalent in the preceding year (2024-25), he is

mandatorily a specified premises for the current financial year,

i.e., in this case for financial year 2025-26. The premises is a

24

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 1

(EXTRAORDINARY)

07TH APRIL, 2025

service for more than

Rs. 7500 per unit per

day or equivalent.

Therefore, I would

mandatorily be a

specified premises for

financial year 2025-

26.

However, in the

financial year 2025-

26, I have not

supplied any unit of

accommodation

having value of

supply more than

Rs. 7500 per unit per

day or equivalent.

Would I have to file

any declaration to

ensure that I am not a

specified premises for

the financial year

2026-27?

specified premises owing to the mandatory condition being

satisfied in the preceding year.

However, since the supplier of hotel accommodation service has

not supplied any unit of accommodation having value of supply

more than Rs. 7500/- per unit per day or equivalent in the

financial year 2025-26, the premises would not be mandatorily a

specified premises for the next financial year 2026-27. However,

in view of the revised definition of specified premises, the

supplier can declare the premises to be a specified premises by

filing a declaration as per Annexure VII. If he chooses to not file

any declaration, then, by default he would not be a specified

premises for the year 2026-27, as he does not satisfy the

mandatory condition. There is no requirement to file any

declaration to the effect that the premises is not a specified

premises in such cases.

25.

For the financial year

2025-26, I filed an

opt-in declaration,

declaring my

premises as specified

premises for the said

financial year, and for

subsequent years.

However, I did not

supply any unit of

accommodation

having value of

supply more than

Rs. 7500 in FY 2025-

26.

I do not want my

premises to be a

‘specified premises’

for FY 2026-27. What

am I required to do?

Even though you did not supply any unit of accommodation

having value of supply more than Rs 7500 in FY 2025-26, you

will not automatically revert to not being a ‘specified premises’

for FY 2026-27, since you had filed an ‘opt-in declaration’ for FY

2025-26. In this case, you will have to file an opt-out declaration

for FY 2026-27, between 1st January, 2026 and 31st March, 2026.

26.

Is it mandatory that I

should file my

declaration for next

financial year before

31st March of the

preceding financial

year?

Yes. For a registered supplier of hotel accommodation services,

the declarations have to be filed within the time period of 1st

January, to 31st March of the preceding financial year. No grace

period is given for filing the declaration. The timelines are to be

strictly adhered to. The status on 31st March, would be taken as

the final declaration.
