Yes, 5% GST without ITC is the correct rate for this type of service, and the SAC code is 9966. Here is the detailed position:

1. SAC Code: 9966 covers 'Rental services of transport vehicles with or without operator.' Since you are providing a car WITH a driver, SAC 9966 is the correct code (not 9985, which is for miscellaneous support services).

2. GST Rate: As per Notification No. 11/2017-CT(Rate) and its amendments, rental of motor vehicles with driver for carrying passengers attracts 5% GST PROVIDED the supplier does not avail ITC on procurement of the vehicle or its maintenance. This is the correct concessional rate for cab/car rental with driver.

3. If You Claim ITC: If you opt to claim ITC on the car purchase or maintenance, the applicable rate jumps to 12% GST. So the 5% rate is conditional on not availing ITC.

4. RCM on Car Rental: If you provide car rental services to a body corporate (company), the body corporate must pay GST under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) @ 5% as per Notification 13/2017-CT(Rate) — verify whether your clients are body corporates and handle accordingly.

5. Invoice: Issue GST invoice mentioning SAC 9966, GST @ 5%, with a note that ITC is not availed on the vehicle.
