This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether an assessee can simultaneously act as both a Goods Transport Agency (GTA) and a Multimodal Transporter. While it's generally possible to issue separate bills for each service, the GST treatment and applicability depend on the specific client requirements and the nature of the transport provided. For GTA services, a 12% GST rate with full ITC is common, whereas multimodal transport may have different GST considerations, including RCM scenarios.

07 May 2022 In case GTA charge 12% GST under forward charge it can be done simultaneously.
GST rate for multimodal transport: At its 21st meeting, the GST Council proposed a GST rate of 12 % with full ITC on-forwarding charges for composite multimodal transport. Notice No. 13/2018-Central Tax of 26.07.2018 delivered by the Government for this purpose. Now Multimodal transport of goods taxed @ 6 % under CGST. Total GST Rate = 12 % (CGST + SGST); IGST = 12 % .

07 May 2022 No Sir, One of the client is asking to bill without GST mentioning RCM as 'Yes' (i.e. under 5% Category) and another is asking for 12% GST as multimodal transporter. Can this both be done simultaneously.
