Quick Summary

A logistics operator providing GTA transport services received a notice from the CGST department for not filing annual GST returns between July 2017 and March 2018, despite a turnover of Rs. 50 lacs. The advice given is to reply stating that GTA services were payable under RCM and annual returns are not required for that period. Additionally, the operator needs to respond to a query about service tax for April-July 2017, where GTA was exempt, and no formal agreements were in place for vehicle provision.
