Reply— As per notification no. 17/2017-Central Tax (Rate) Dated: June 28, 2017, the tax on intra-State supplies shall be paid by the electronic commerce operator in case of services by way of providing accommodation in hotels, inns, guest houses, clubs, campsites or other commercial places meant for residential or lodging purposes, except where the person supplying such service through electronic commerce operator is liable for registration.

If turnover is more than Rs. 20 lakhs, hotel owner will be required to take Registration under GST.
