Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies how to report used car sales in your GST returns (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B). It covers two scenarios: when the profit margin is negative (no tax liability) and when it's positive (GST payable). The advice suggests raising a tax invoice on the margin amount at either 12% or 18% GST, depending on the car's category, and reflecting this in your returns.

29 October 2026 From 22-09-2025 the margin-scheme rate for old and used vehicles is a flat 18% for all categories (earlier 12%/18%); the taxable margin is shown in GSTR-1 (B2B or B2C) and GSTR-3B, while a negative margin is ignored.
