|
Hire charge of Test Train |
4,18,050 |
|
GST @ 5% |
20,903 |
|
Total |
4,38,953 |
The Clarification is being required regarding
1. Whether GST is Payable under Forward charge or Reverse charge for this service. ( This is not transportation of goods or passenger)
As per Sl. No. 5 of Notification No. 13/2017, Central Tax (Rates), dated 28.06.2017, services supplied by Railway (Central Government) to a business entity excluding renting of immovable property and transport of goods and passengers shall come under Reverse Charge Mechanism.
So this being renting of movable property is covered under Entry 5 and hence RCM is applicable.
