Dear Expert, I am registered as GTA in GST regime but do not own any transport vehicle. I hire vehicles from local transporters who are normally unregistered in GST regime. I ask them to provide their invoice in my name. After keeping some margin, I issue invoices to my clients and write the line ''GST SHOULD BE PAID BY CLIENT @ 5% UNDER RCM''. Now, my query is : 1. Whether GST under RCM @ 5% should be paid by me too on invoices received from URD. 2. If No then under which provision it should not to be paid. 3. If yes then ITC can be availed by me or not. 4. I have hired a vehicle from registered GTA in the month of Sept-18 and he has provided me his invoice. While checking the GSTR-2A, I came to know that he has uploaded the invoice stating that the GST should be paid under RCM. Under this situation, whether I have to paid GST under RCM or not.
Thanking in advance, Vinod Kumar Shukla 9167230106
