Why this matters for tour operators
Tour operators face one of India's most complex GST regimes — outbound tour packages 5% (no ITC), inbound 5% (with ITC option), domestic 5% (or 18% with ITC), forex services 1.4% on gross. FilingLab handles tour-operator GST setup, IATA agency accreditation if needed, registration with Ministry of Tourism (RNR — Recognised Tour Operator), TCS on foreign-tour packages above ₹7 lakh (Section 206C(1G)), and forex compliance (FFMC licence for currency exchange).
