This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications for freight charges when Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) applies. It addresses whether CGST and SGST are payable for local transport, or if IGST is required for interstate transactions. The applicable GST rate for freight charges under RCM is also discussed, along with the possibility of claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) on the RCM paid amount.

We are receiving transport bill from service provider who is registered under GST and providing service to our Local customer and Interstate customer.
Kindly advise while paying RCM is it required to pay CGST & SGST for both local and interstate only or we have to pay IGST for Interstate transaction.
