Purpose :- When a restaurant provides a takeaway or delivery service, the transaction is considered a sale of goods or services, and the restaurant must charge GST on the value of the sale. the purpose of charging GST for takeaway and delivery orders in the restaurant vertical is to comply with tax laws, ensure tax compliance, and create a level playing field for all restaurants.
Benefits :- charging GST for takeaways helps to create a level playing field for all restaurants. By charging the same tax rate on all takeaway orders, restaurants can compete fairly based on the quality of their food and service, rather than on their ability to avoid taxes.
