Hotel Billing Software That Gets GST Right
Indian hotel GST has layers: room-rate-based slab (5% up to ₹7,500 and 18% above, since 22 September 2025), the CGST and SGST split, 5% or 18% on F&B depending on the hotel, banquet specifics, e-invoicing thresholds, and GSTR-1 filing requirements. Most international PMS vendors get half of this wrong. Exceed gets all of it right — automatically, on every invoice.

GST for Hotels Is Genuinely Complicated
Room rate determines the slab: 5% up to ₹7,500 without input credit, 18% above, tested on the amount charged each night. The tax is always CGST+SGST because a stay is taxed where the hotel stands, whatever the guest's state. F&B is at 5% or 18% depending on the hotel, and liquor sits outside GST. Banquet has its own rules. E-invoicing kicks in for B2B invoices above the threshold. And GSTR-1 filing requires all of this reconciled correctly.
Most international PMS vendors get half of this wrong. Generic accounting software requires manual adjustments. Doing it by hand means your CA is expensive and your risk of notice from the GST department is real. You need billing software that was built with Indian GST rules as a first-class citizen — not as an afterthought bolted on after the fact.
What GST-Ready Hotel Billing Software Must Do
Every edge case — refunds, credit notes, modifications, group billing splits — handled correctly under GST rules. You don't need to ‘adjust in Tally’ after the fact.
Automatic Tax Slab by Room Rate
5% or 18% applied automatically at folio posting, from the amount charged each night. Seasonal rate changes don't create errors. The system handles edge cases like upgrades and rate overrides correctly.
