### **1. **GST on GTA Services**

- **Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM):** When a registered dealer receives GTA services, they are required to pay GST under RCM if the GTA service provider is unregistered or if the service falls under the RCM provisions.
- **GTA Services Rate:** Typically, the GST rate for GTA services is 5% under RCM, as per **Notification No. 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate)**.

### **2. **Eligibility for ITC**

- **ITC Availability:** As per the GST laws, a registered dealer can claim ITC on GST paid under RCM for GTA services if the services are used in the course or furtherance of business.
- **ITC Claim Procedure:** The ITC should be reported in your GSTR-3B return for the relevant period.

### **3. **Relevant Notifications and Sections**

- **Notification No. 13/2017-Central Tax (Rate):** Lists the services on which RCM is applicable, including GTA services.
- **Notification No. 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate):** Specifies the GST rate for GTA services.
- **Section 16 of the CGST Act:** Details the eligibility and conditions for claiming ITC.
- **Section 17(5) of the CGST Act:** Specifies the blocked credits, but GTA services are generally not included in these blocked credits.

### **4. **Steps to Claim ITC**
