GST on Old Vehicle

Quick Summary

Query on GST applicability for scrap dealer selling old vehicle purchased under RCM. It was clarified that since GST under RCM was paid and ITC is claimed, the margin scheme under Rule 32(5) cannot be used. Therefore, GST must be charged on the full sale value of the vehicle, not on margin.

04 January 2026 Under current GST laws as of 2026, the scrap dealer must charge GST on the full sale value of the vehicle rather than using the margin scheme under Rule 32(5).

ITC Restriction: Rule 32(5) of the CGST Rules (the Margin Scheme) specifically requires that the dealer must not have availed Input Tax Credit (ITC) on the purchase of the second-hand goods.
Impact of RCM: Since the dealer paid GST under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) on the full purchase value, they are eligible to claim that tax as ITC.
Forfeiting the Margin Scheme: If a dealer chooses to claim ITC on a vehicle, they cannot use the Margin Scheme for its resale. Consequently, they must pay GST on the entire selling price.
