25 January 2021 Dear Sir/Madam,

Suppose a company is paying loading and unloading charges (to a contractor other than the transporter) on per Kg per per Bag basis, what will be the rate of GST in this case?

Can it be called a "piece rate" basis or "job contract" an be liable to 5% GST instead of 18%?

Thanks.
