Gym, fitness centres, and yoga classes now fall under the 5% GST slab in India, effective from September 22, 2025. This is a reduction from the previous 18% GST rate. The new lower rate applies to all these services including gym memberships, fitness classes, and commercial yoga classes. However, this 5% GST rate applies without Input Tax Credit (ITC).
To summarize:
- Gym memberships, fitness centre services, and commercial yoga classes will attract a 5% GST rate.
- The rate change is effective from September 22, 2025.
- Purely spiritual yoga programs (non-commercial) remain exempt from GST.
- The 5% GST slab applies without the benefit of Input Tax Credit.
This GST reduction aims to make health and wellness services more affordable and aligns with broader government initiatives promoting fitness and well- being.
