14 February 2019 The GST Act has prescribed two rates 5% and 12%.
Rate 5% is applicable when ITC has not been claimed on providing transportation service and rate 12% is attracted in other cases.
But how can recipient can know whether the service provider - GTA is availing ITC or not? he has no control on that. As the condition is for the service provider, the rate is also for the service provider. Thus under RCM the only rate applicable is 12%.
Please advice on the above.
