Explanation


There are two sections in IGST Act i.e. Section 12 & 13 which defines the place of Supply of Service. Section-12 defines Place of Supply of Service in case where both Supplier and Recipient is situated in India and Section-13 defines Place of Supply of Service where either Supplier or Recipient is situated outside India.


Summary of Section-12 & 13 regarding Hotel Accommodation Service


Where Both Supplier and Recipient is situated in India

In case Hotel is situated in India: Place where Hotel is situated.

In case Hotel is situated outside India: Place of Recipient of Service.

(Answer of Quesiton-3 to 6 can be answered from this)


Where Either Supplier and Recipient is situated outside India


Place where Hotel is situated (whether situated in India or outside India).


Further, as per Section 2(6) of IGST Act, for any service to be qualified as Export of Service, one of the condition is that Place of Supply should be outside India. Since, in case Hotel is situated in India, Place of Supply becomes India, accordingly, It can not be considered as Export of Service.
