Is RCM applicable on air freight charges?
Yes, GST on air freight services provided by a Goods Transport Agency (GTA) is subject to RCM.
However, air freight services are generally exempt from GST when the consignment value per shipment is less than Rs. 75,000.
For consignments exceeding Rs. 75,000, GST under RCM is applicable on freight charges paid to GTA.
The rate of GST under RCM on freight is 5% (2.5% CGST + 2.5% SGST) or 5% IGST depending on intra/inter-state supply.
