12 August 2025 Hi Lingam,

Here's a clear explanation of GST rates and applicability on monthly hiring of commercial vehicles for internal and outside factory transport:

1. GST Rate on Monthly Hiring of Commercial Vehicles
GST Rate:
The GST rate on hiring of vehicles is generally 5% (without ITC) as per Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) and related notifications for renting of motor vehicles.

2. Applicability for Internal Factory Transport (Within Factory Premises)
If the vehicle is hired for transportation within the factory premises, it is usually considered a supply of services by way of renting of vehicle.

GST Rate: 5% (without ITC).

Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM):

RCM does not apply if the service is received from a registered supplier.

If the supplier is unregistered and you are registered, RCM applies on GTA services only, not on renting vehicles.

Renting vehicle services are normally under Forward Charge Mechanism (FCM).

3. Applicability for Transport Outside Factory (Internal Transport of Goods/Employees)
For transport outside factory premises, like movement of goods or employees:

If you are receiving GTA (Goods Transport Agency) services, then GST is charged @ 5% without ITC, and RCM applies if GTA is unregistered.

For hiring of commercial vehicles (non-GTA), GST @ 5% (without ITC) applies under FCM.
