Households luggage

This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
GTA RCM depends on treatment. If company pays or is liable for freight, RCM applies even if bill is in employee name. If treated as employee perquisite reimbursement, RCM may not apply.

27 February 2026 Employee house hold luggage transported by gta.
Bill is in the name of employee. Expenses debited under staff welfare expenses. But payment made by company.
Is RCM applicable under GTA service.

27 February 2026 Yes, Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) is generally applicable in this scenario because the company is the "recipient" of the service, even if the invoice is in the employee's name.
Under Notification No. 13/2017-Central Tax (Rate), the person who pays or is liable to pay the freight is treated as the receiver of the service.
While the bill is in the employee's name, if the company pays the freight, it should technically be the one discharging the RCM liability to avoid disputes during audits.

Dr. The staff welfare account
Cr. The employee account
Then
Dr. To Employee account
Cr. The Bank account
