How do i report taxes on my bookings? (Hosts)
Last updated on April 20, 2026
Hosts who expect their annual commercial turnover from the sale of goods and services (including bookings on Spare Space) to exceed the GST registration threshold — INR 20 lakhs (or INR 10 lakhs in special category states identified under Article 279A (4)(g) of the Constitution of India) — are required to register for GST and obtain a GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number).
If you are a GST-registered host, it is your responsibility to:
Report and remit GST on your total earnings from Spare Space to the relevant tax authorities,
Account for any Tax Collected at Source (TCS) already deducted by Spare Space and deposited against your GSTIN,
And ensure your filings reflect the correct turnover from bookings.
For non-GST hosts (individuals), Spare Space automatically collects and remits applicable GST to the authorities on your behalf. This means you don’t need to file or remit GST separately for your bookings.
You can find:
- All tax deductions and TCS details in your payout invoices on your dashboard, and
- Booking-wise GST invoices which are also emailed to you after each successful booking.
