Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the GST implications for transporters. If a transporter issues a consignment note (acting as a GTA), they can choose to collect GST at 12% under forward charge or opt for a 5% rate where the recipient pays under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM). Transportation of goods not covered by GTA services is currently exempt from GST.

27 February 2020 In case, the transporter is GTA ( issues consignment note), he has an option to collect GST under forward charges @ 12% and pay to the Government. Otherwise, he can charge @ 5% and the recipient of the services need to pay tax under RCM.
