Quick Summary

From 22nd September 2025, Goods Transport Agency (GTA) services will have a revised GST rate structure. Businesses can opt for a 5% GST rate without claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC), or choose an 18% GST rate with full ITC available. This change, notified by the GST Council, also clarifies multimodal transport, which involves multiple transport modes under a single contract, with varying GST rates depending on whether air transport is included.

07 October 2025 Multimodal transport means the transportation of goods involving two or more modes of transport (e.g., road, rail, water) from the place of acceptance of goods to the place of delivery under a single contract. Under GST, multimodal transport services are charged at 5% GST with restricted ITC when no air transport is involved. However, if air transport is involved in the multimodal transportation, the rate is 18% GST with full ITC. Multimodal transport is treated differently from GTA, which is primarily road transport only.
There are official GST notifications and FAQs issued by the GST Council clarifying these changes. The 56th GST Council meeting rationalized these rates effective from 22nd September 2025, and detailed FAQs provide clarifications on conditions, ITC eligibility, and classification of services.
