Sir / Mam- I am a steel trader. Manufacturer charges the freight also in his invoice and collects gst @ 18% on freight. But, He pays the freight to GTA (GST Exempted) and he pays gst @ 5% under RCM on freight paid and availed that inputs also.
Here, He saves GST @ 13% on freight and @5 % on RCM credit and utilizes towards his sales. So, He enjoys the entire GST @18 % on freight collected from me While I suffer the gst.
Why this deviation and why the act safe the manufacturer?
To avoid this GST loss, It is better that I pay inward freight and GST @ 5% on RCM then avail the credit.
Is it correct sir ? Plz convey your opinion thanks in adv

Am a bit confused here. Being a trader, will you not be able to avail entire GST @18% as ITC. How will this be a loss to you? Moreover, if you pay GST @5% on RCM, your ITC will also be limited to 5%. Am I missing anything here?

Yes .. Yes...U are right Mam. I missed that point -ITC. Sorry I placed this question with wrong concept. thanks for guidance plz. But, I think , Paying 5% on fright under RCM is best in cost wise than paying 18%.
