What GST applies under RCM on freight? GST on freight services under RCM depends on the place of supply of service.
Place of supply for transportation of goods (other than by vessel) to a registered person is the location of the recipient (Section 12(2) of IGST Act). So, the place of supply = Your location (Rajasthan). What does this mean for RCM on freight? If transporter is located in another state and you are in Rajasthan, then: You will pay CGST + SGST under RCM. Because place of supply is in Rajasthan, intra-state GST applies (CGST + SGST). If transporter’s address is in a different state (like West Bengal or Delhi): Still, place of supply is your state (Rajasthan), so CGST + SGST on RCM basis. NOT IGST because IGST applies only on interstate supply where place of supply differs from recipient’s location.
